About Us
VascuWire, LLC is a physician-founded medical device startup dedicated to transforming central vascular access. We've developed a groundbreaking single-handed device that enables venipuncture and guidewire passage under continuous ultrasound guidance, eliminating blind guidewire advancement and significantly reducing complication risks associated with the traditional Seldinger technique.
We are currently in our pre-seed phase, raising capital to advance our product to commercial-grade, secure FDA Class II 510(k) clearance, and launch with early clinical adopters.
