Company Summary

Cognition Medical manufactures devices to suction clots from the brain vessels of stroke patients, which is a $3B+ market opportunity. Current devices fail to remove clots in 1/3 of cases but we anticipate that our devices will improve the treatment’s success rate by 30%. We plan to go through direct sales following ongoing testing for FDA approval in Q2 '24. Our exit strategy is to sell the company to a strategics after FDA approval.
