About the Company

Inquis Medical

Clinical-stage thrombectomy system developer for VTE

Inquis Medical is a clinical-stage medtech company developing the AVENTUS Thrombectomy System for non-surgical removal of blood clots in venous thromboembolic diseases. The system uses TrueClot tissue-sensing to give real-time feedback and distinguishes blood, clot, and vessel wall, while integrating navigation, aspiration, and a blood-return/filtration loop for single-pass clot removal with reduced blood loss. It differentiates itself with real-time tissue sensing, a single-pass approach, and an integrated blood filtration/return system that aims to improve precision and efficiency over existing devices. The company’s goal is to complete pivotal trials and commercially launch the AVENTUS system, initially for peripheral clots and later for pulmonary embolism, beginning with a 2025 market entry supported by a recent Series B round.
