In this episode, we’ll talk to two of the more innovative companies in the peripheral vascular space – Shockwave Medical and LimFlow – about how they’re helping to treat people who previously had few or zero options.

This episode is brought to you by Confluent Medical.

LimFlow CEO Dan Rose walked us through his decision to build his Medtech career in Europe. He also talked about LimFlow’s unique approach to using veins as a route to deliver blood to limbs rather than return blood to the heart.

Our second interview is with Doug Godshall, CEO and President of Shockwave Medical. Godshall admittedly came to medtech later in his career, but he’s taken on some of its most serious and intractable problems, first as CEO of HeartWare and now Shockwave Medical.

In this week’s episode, we interview Joe Army, CEO of Vapotherm, and Alton Shader, CEO of Viant. First. We’ll follow Army’s heartful move into Medtech, which includes his current role as CEO of Vapotherm, maker of the high flow nasal cannula that proved to be a highly effective tool to treat patients hospitalized with COVID-19. We’ll later learn that Vapotherm’s ability to supply hospitals with this life-saving technology was in doubt due to labor shortages. But Shader details how the contract manufacturer stepped in to immediately help with Vapotherm’s dilemma. The interview is a taste of the discussion Vapotherm and Viant will lead at DeviceTalks Boston on May 10. Go to devicetalks.com to register.

We also bring in former Johnson & Johnson executive Peter Stebbins to tell us about his upcoming interview with Frank Doyle III, dean of Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Doyle will be our keynote interview subject on the morning of May 10 at DeviceTalks Boston.

Stebbins also provides his experience and insights to this week’s Newmarker’s Newsmakers including news from Medtronic, Masimo, Boston Scientific, GE Healthcare and FitBit.

In this episode of StrykerTalks, Jessica Mathieson, vice president and general manager of the Acute Care, recounts her unusual path into the medical device industry, giving advice to others interested in making the transition. The conversation then delves into an unassuming – but critical – piece of medical equipment – the hospital bed where most patient-healthcare interaction takes place. Later in the interview, Mathieson will talk about Stryker’s work to provide new technologies that help healthcare workers handle their increasing stress loads; technologies that incorporate technology from the recently acquired Vocera. Also, how is Stryker sharing risk with hospitals to increase patient safety?

In this episode, Penumbra CEO Adam Elsesser shares why he left a successful law career to become CEO of a medical device startup. After selling that company to Boston Scientific, Elsesser and his co-founders started Penumbra, which has steadily built businesses in stroke and vascular businesses. But Penumbra’s biggest business may be an immersive VR technology system that’s able to improve mental health.

In this episode of the DeviceTalks Weekly Podcast, we speak with Yuriy Lebed, the CEO of Pharmaxi LLC, a CRO based in Kyiv, Urkaine, that works with pharmaceutical and medical device companies across the globe. In an interview from Lviv, Lebed says he was as shocked as many that Russia would invade its neighbor. The attack forced him to relocate with his family to Lviv, in the western part of the country. From there, he’s been able to lead the CRO as it keeps many clinical trials running. He calls the country’s regulators are “heroes” for vowing to process approvals while the capital city is bombed. He also says Pharmaxi is already planning for the future, which includes expanding operations into Poland and working within EU countries.
