About Q'Apel Medical:
Q'Apel Medical designs highly innovative technologies for vascular interventions and unmet clinical needs. Q'Apel's core portfolio comprises two products, the Walrus Balloon Catheter System and the Wahoo Hybrid Access System. Before Walrus came along, balloon-based variable stiffness catheters brought all manner of technological constraints. Not anymore. By blending flow control, trackability, support, and access into one revolutionary solution, Walrus offers truly unmatched functionality. The Wahoo Hybrid Access System is a dual-mode catheter complete with two distinct operational modes, allowing physicians to easily switch modes at any point during a clinical case and reducing the need for multiple catheters in challenging procedures. In the precious seconds that surround a stroke emergency, clinicians need technology that serves their needs in the moment and an innovation pipeline that anticipates what they'll need next. This is Q'Apel Medical's utmost aspiration and continual target.
