Project Description

We have designed and developed a new light-activated drug eluting balloon (DEB) angioplasty device termed Lumi-Solve, which targets drug delivery and activation specifically to the surface of a re-narrowed blood vessel, at the time of balloon deployment, for the safer and more effective treatment of vascular disease. Our project aims to evaluate Lumi-Solve, in a large animal model with a view to commencing human trials shortly after completion of these studies.
