Saranas

Saranas has developed a technology that allows for the early detection and monitoring of bleeding complications associated with vascular access procedures. The Early Bird Bleed Monitoring System includes a vascular access sheath with embedded sensors that measure the electrical resistance across the blood vessel. By sensing a change in the vessel's electrical resistance, the Early Bird is designed to detect and monitor bleeding from a blood vessel accidentally injured during endovascular procedures, such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement, large bore hemodynamic support device placement, or other complex cardiac interventions, where the femoral artery or vein is used to gain vascular access to the heart. The technology was invented at the Texas Heart Institute.
