The Aachen-based start-up Protembis GmbH ("Protembis"), developer of the "ProtEmbo" filter system for catheter-guided aortic valve implantations, raises a total of around 30 million euros in new capital in a series B financing round. The company received comprehensive legal advice from Taylor Wessing under the leadership of Dr Niclas von Woedtke.
Protembis is developing the "ProtEmbo Cerebral Protection System", or "ProtEmbo" for short, which protects the brain from embolisms during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This system filters the particles released into the aorta during the procedure and thus prevents possible damage to the cerebral vessels. The filter system is inserted via the left radial artery so that the instruments required for the replacement, which are normally inserted via the femoral artery, can be used without interference.
