Imperative Care is a commercial-stage MedTech company developing access and aspiration thrombectomy catheters to treat a variety of vascular conditions, including stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE).
Imperative Care was co-founded by neuro-interventionalist Dr. Nick Hopkins and serial MedTech entrepreneur and CEO Fred Khosravi. The company develops three major products: the Zoom stroke system, the Symphony catheter for DVT and PE, and the Prodigy catheter for peripheral arterial occlusion. These devices offer distinct advantages over competitors, such as superior flexibility for intracranial navigation, larger apertures for more effective clot engagement, and adjustable flow valves to minimize blood loss. As a result, the Zoom stroke system has achieved #1 market share in neuro access catheters, and the Symphony and Prodigy devices are poised for significant market expansion.
