The value of innovation is only as good as the team that manages its transition from “drawings on a napkin” to tested, validated and approved products in the market, solving real needs for real people. There is no shortage of good ideas; there is a shortage of talented, experienced teams that have the demonstrated ability to successfully mature these ideas into finished products. Medical devices pose an even greater challenge due to the regulatory hurdles and human risk factors especially associated with implant technologies.

CreatiVasc has assembled an Innovation Team comprised of nationally-recognized leaders in vascular surgery and technology commercialization as well as business and financial management. In addition to its internal team, CreatiVasc frequently reaches out to world-class expertise outside its walls for valuable independent assessments, design input, and regulatory guidance. The company has been worked closely with nationally-recognized medical device design companies. In addition, CreatiVasc has collaborated with major research institutions such as Battelle Memorial Institute and Clemson University.

CreatiVasc is proving that smaller, entrepreneurial companies can more rapidly create, validate, mature and launch new technologies much faster than larger, more bureaucratic organizations.
