About us
Reinventing percutaneous implantation to make life-saving interventions accessible to all.
End stage heart failure can be treated with life-saving devices. But thousands don’t get one due to device complications.
To bridge this gap, we are developing novel percutaneous cables that are optimally deployed to prevent infection for superior patient outcomes.
A MEDTECH SPIN-OFF FROM ETH ZURICH
Coskin devices were developed out of a leading research university in Switzerland, ETH Zurich, in close collaboration with DHZC. Today, we are a startup company specializing in soft percutaneous implants. We are driven by our mission to increase access in lifesaving cardiovascular interventions and seek like-minded partners, hospitals and physicians to join us on our journey.
