About
Filterlex Medical Ltd. is a cardiovascular medical device startup developing the CAPTIS®, a full-body embolic protection device. The CAPTIS® is designed to reduce the risk of stroke and other complications during catheter-based structural heart procedures, particularly Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). The device is securely positioned in the aorta, protecting its surface, while facilitating a seamless TAVR procedure. Its triple-action design provides full-body embolic protection by deflecting, capturing, and removing embolic particles. It uniquely requires no additional arterial access and does not interfere with the procedure workflow. Filterlex Medical targets hospitals, cardiovascular surgeons, and interventional cardiologists. In 2016, Filterlex joined Alon MedTech Ventures incubator, owned by Dr. Shimon Eckhouse.
