Nexvena

We're seeking a dedicated Biomedical Engineer to join our dynamic startup, Nexvena. Our mission is to redefine Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) safety by developing an innovative bidirectional cannula that mitigates limb ischemia, acommon adverse effect of present ECLS procedures. The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of medical/device design and development with an emphasis on ECLS procedures. Key responsibilities shall include: - Lead Prototype Design: Participate actively in designing, developing, and refining our bidirectional cannula. - Manage Validation Process: Conduct and manage pre-clinical trial validation of our prototype. - Collaborate with our cross-functional team of experts consisting of vascular surgeons, R&D software developers, and strategic planning professionals. Required qualifications: - Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Biomedical Engineering. - Proven experience in medical device development, ideally in the cardiovascular field. - Deep understanding of ECLS procedures and complications. - Exceptional collaboration skills, able to thrive

Nexvena aims to redefine extracorporeal life support by developing a bidirectional cannula that curbs limb ischemia, a common side effect due to restricted blood flow. Despite critical care advancements, current devices fail to protect the limb. Our innovative cannula assures full systemic support while preserving distal perfusion. In essence, it's one device promoting whole body support and limb protection.

Our product addresses limb ischemia during femoral cannulation in ECLS or ECMO. Currently, standard single-lumen femoral cannulas block blood flow to the lower limb, resulting often in serious and preventable complications.
