Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Accelerating the commercial adoption of Symvess (approved in Dec 2024 for extremity vascular trauma) in the U.S. through hospital Value Analysis Committee (VAC) approvals, inclusion in the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency's Electronic Catalog (ECAT), and securing preferred sourcing contracts like the VA's SING program.
Expected impact: Aims to transition the company from a pre-revenue R&D stage to a high-growth commercial entity by driving hospital adoption and clinical utilization.
Thoughtful reduction in force of approximately 45 employees (about 25% of headcount) and deferment of planned hires, alongside trimming non-essential operating expenses following the completion of several technical and clinical projects.
Expected impact: Expected to yield approximately $14.3 million in net cost savings for the remainder of 2026, extending the company's cash runway while maintaining resources for key commercial and clinical milestones.
Executing a clinical evaluation and outreach program for Symvess in hospitals within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) supported by a minimum purchase commitment.
Expected impact: Establishes a clinical footprint in the Middle East while negotiating a potential joint venture and licensing agreement to commercialize Symvess within the KSA.
