About Osprey Medical (ASX: OSP)
Osprey Medical’s vision is to make heart imaging procedures safer for patients with poor kidney function. The amount of dye
(contrast) used during angiographic imaging procedures increases the patient’s risk for dye-related kidney damage known as
Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury (CI-AKI). The Company’s core technologies originated from research conducted by Dr David Kaye at Melbourne’s Baker Institute. Its proprietary dye reduction and monitoring technologies are designed to help physicians minimize dye usage and monitor the dose of dye real time throughout the procedure. The Company’s DyeVert™ System reduces contrast while maintaining image quality in a self-adjusting easy-to-use design that monitors dye usage. Osprey Medical’s Board and Management are comprised of experienced and successful personnel with established track records covering medical device development, regulatory approvals, sales and marketing, and mergers-acquisitions. Osprey Medical’s advisory board comprises world-recognised experts in heart and kidney diseases.
