Dialysis device startup Advent Access soothes kidney patients' pain
av-Guardian, its core product, guides a needle to a vein that is used for hemodialysis
Singapore
KIDNEY-failure patients undergoing hemodialysis suffer numerous needle insertions every week, with each prick running the risk of pain, ineffectiveness and wearing out the target vein.
Medical device startup Advent Access is going after that literal pain point, with the goal of ultimately making needling so easy that patients can do it by themselves. The company has a core product, av-Guardian, on the verge of obtaining CE mark approval, and a recently acquired already-commercialised solution that could help to jumpstart growth.
