Emboline, Inc. Secures Funding for Revolutionary Stroke Prevention Technology
In a significant step for the medical technology sector,
Emboline, Inc., based in Santa Cruz, California, has successfully secured
$20 million in growth capital from
Trinity Capital Inc., a prominent international alternative asset manager. This funding is crucial for advancing the commercialization of the
Emboliner® Embolic Protection System, a device designed to mitigate the risk of stroke and other ischemic conditions during
transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures.
Emboline focuses on improving outcomes for patients undergoing structural heart procedures by reducing stroke and ischemic damage. The company recently completed enrollment in the
PROTECT H2H investigational device exemption (IDE) clinical trial, which is a prospective randomized study evaluating the effectiveness of the Emboliner® device. This trial, numbered
NCT05684146, is a pivotal step ahead of the anticipated commercial launch.
The Emboliner® Embolic Protection System works by providing full cerebral and systemic embolic protection through the capture and removal of debris that may be released during these heart procedures. This advancement in technology is particularly essential for enhancing procedural safety and efficacy. Furthermore, Emboline holds a comprehensive intellectual property portfolio related to aortic embolic protection, encompassing full-body embolic filtration and innovative aortic deflection techniques.
The results from the completed IDE clinical study will be prominently showcased during a
Late-Breaking Clinical Trial session at the
American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session in New Orleans, Louisiana, slated for
March 29, 2026. This platform will provide the opportunity for healthcare professionals and industry stakeholders to evaluate the findings and implications of the clinical study.
Rob Lake, Senior Managing Director of Life Sciences at Trinity Capital, expressed confidence in Emboline’s technology:
"Emboline's embolic filtering technology aims to empower interventional cardiologists with enhanced confidence when conducting complex procedures while concurrently reducing the risk of stroke and other complications. We are pleased to support Emboline during this transformative phase as they prepare to introduce their solution to the medical community worldwide.”
In his remarks,
Scott Russell, President and CEO of Emboline, communicated the excitement surrounding the funding, stating:
"We are eager to collaborate with Trinity Capital at this pivotal moment. The completion of our IDE clinical trial along with upcoming regulatory submissions positions us well for a commercial launch in both the United States and Europe within this year. Our objective is to equip physicians with a comprehensive embolic protection solution that minimizes the risk of stroke and ischemic injury during transcatheter procedures.”
With this strategic investment,
Emboline is poised to enhance preparations for the commercial rollout of the
Emboliner® Embolic Protection System, while continuing the development of innovative technologies aimed at reducing embolic risks during critical heart interventions.
