Contego Medical, founded in 2005, has developed a family of novel emboli protection devices. The main feature of each device is that the treatment portion (i.e., balloon or stent) is on the same catheter as the embolic protection device, thus coupling the two together. This device can act as an angioplasty balloon with an integrated emboli protection device. If a stent is mounted on the balloon, it can serve as a stent with an integrated emboli protection device. We know that embolization occurs with all angioplasty and stenting procedures. It is usually hard to predict which ones will result in clinical sequalae. Despite knowing that embolization is ubiquitous, embolic protection devices are not used in all procedures as they add complexity, time, and cost. Dedicated devices do not exist for renal intervention, although the majority of physicians say they would use one if it existed. Contego Medical’s family of embolic protection devices represent a paradigm shift in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
In 1993, a novel technology was invented by a team that included Jon Faiz Kayyem, PhD at The California Institute of Technology (CalTech). This invention combined nucleic acids and microelectronics to produce an electronic sensor for DNA detection. His invention was based on electrical detection of nucleic acids on a cassette based detection platform. Dr. Kayyem went on to found Clinical Micro Sensors, with the goal of translating this “eSensor” technology to disposable chips. Following several acquisitions of the technology, Dr. Kayyem became actively involved again in 2009, returning as an investor and then as CEO and Chairman of the Board. In 2009, a collaboration between Dr. Kayyem and Christopher Gleeson began. The two redefined the company strategy, and brought in a new board of directors, executive leadership team, and commercial management. In 2010, the company known at that time as Osmetech, was named GenMark Diagnostics and listed on NASDAQ. Mr. Gleeson remained an integral part of GenMark`s growth in the years that followed, serving as Chairman of the Board until his retirement in 2014. Dr. Kayyem currently serves as SVP, Research and Development.
