Overview

Fluid Biomed is a clinical-stage medical device company based in Calgary, Alberta, developing ReSolv™, the world’s first bioabsorbable polymer-based neurovascular stent for brain aneurysms. The ReSolv™ stent has been validated by years of scientific research and demonstrated functional benefits in a first-in-human clinical study. The technology was developed by co-founders John Wong, M.D. (CEO), and Alim Mitha, M.D. (President and CTO), both academic neurosurgeons at the University of Calgary. The company plans to use recent financing to further validate the ReSolv™ stent and its proprietary delivery system in expanded patient studies and to enable larger clinical trials. Fluid Biomed also intends to broaden its product pipeline with the additional strategic and financial capital. Fluid Biotech is commercializing a hybrid polymer-metal flow-diverting brain stent constructed of bioabsorbable polymer and metal to provide a scaffold that enables better healing and vessel visualization. Led by Dr. John Wong (CEO) and Dr. Alim Mitha (President and CTO), the company aims to cure intracranial aneurysms with this novel device. Fluid closed a $4.7M seed funding round to advance development. The company intends to use the funds to engage contract manufacturers to initiate production, complete regulatory milestones, and plan for first-in-human implantation. In conjunction with the raise, Fluid added two board members with capital and industry experience to support commercialization and regulatory progress. The company is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
