The first multidirectional vascular access system. A single needle stick enables treatment in any direction of the vessel, reducing complications, eliminating redundant procedures, and improving patient outcomes.
Standard endovascular sheaths only allow devices to travel in one direction from the access point. When disease affects multiple vessels or the contralateral limb, clinicians face a difficult choice:
A second procedure — requiring the patient to return, increasing risk and cost.
A second access point — doubling the complication rate from the #1 source of endovascular complications.
Complex workarounds — requiring multiple hands, radiation exposure, and increased procedure time.
The Upstream Access system is a multidirectional vascular access device that enables treatment in any direction from a single needle stick.
Treat vessels in any direction from a single femoral access site. No second puncture, no second procedure.
An atraumatic balloon anchor secures the sheath within the vessel, preventing accidental loss of access during the procedure.
By eliminating the need for a second access point, the system reduces the #1 complication source in endovascular procedures.
Built on technology clinicians already know — standard sheaths, guidewires, and catheters — minimizing the learning curve.
Applicable across PAD, DVT, dialysis access, and other endovascular specialties including cardiology and interventional radiology.
Pre-submission or direct-to-510(k) pathway. FDA likely will not require patient testing.
We're seeking strategic partners, licensees, and investors to bring multidirectional vascular access to patients worldwide.
