Pioneering medical device firm heads for clinical trials
AventaMed
What it does: Start-up medical device company focused on simplifying surgical procedures to reduce healthcare costs and improve patient safety
Why it works:“We see AventaMed as a global opportunity and the V-tube is the first of many products. Once it goes into clinical trial, we’ll have more time to go back and to develop the other pipeline ideas that we have plenty of.”- Olive O’Driscoll, chief executive
