About Us
MISSION
We intend to lead the heart recovery field, a market worth $12 billion.
HEART DISEASE IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for almost one-third of all deaths. To treat heart disease, each year U.S. physicians perform more than two million cardiovascular procedures. And another 400,000 U.S. patients are so sick they cannot even undergo such a life-saving procedure without substantial cardiac support.
NEW CARDIC SUPPORT DEVICES
Recently, new cardiac support devices have emerged to treat heart disease patients and allow them to recover. Most patients recover within hours, and the device is removed.
$17 BILLION COMPARABLE
Our only meaningful competitor was acquired in December 2022 for $17 billion.
FBR MEDICAL WILL LEAD THE HEART RECOVERY FIELD
Our data indicate our low-cost, life-saving devices may help heart disease patients recover more effectively and with fewer complications than our competitor’s. Specifically, we believe our proprietary devices provide:
- Ease of use
- More blood flow
- Gentler blood flow (less red blood cell destruction, or hemolysis)
- More substantial heart recovery
- Better patient outcomes
- Lower cost
PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY
FBR has been granted 18 patents and 13 additional patents are pending.
WE HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME
FBR’s founder has invested $5.6 million developing our products.
OUR SUCCESSFUL TRACK RECORD
The previous cardiovascular company our founder started was acquired for $1.1 billion. In addition, our founder was the first Manager of Business Development for Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD), a pioneering biotechnology company.
Our COO has commercialized more than a dozen unique medical product platforms. He most recently served as a senior operating officer at Clearpoint Neuro (NASDAQ: CLPT) and Edwards Lifesciences (NASDAQ: EW).
GROWTH PROSPECTS
We project that in 2026 we will generate $2.8 M of revenue and then grow rapidly. By 2030, we project $270 M of revenue, $67 M of operating income, and $47 M of net income.

Heart Disease
Heart Disease Patients
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for almost one-third of all deaths.
Symptoms include chest pain (angina) and shortness of breath.
More than 30 million U.S. patients are living with heart disease. In the U.S. each year, approximately 805,000 patients suffer a heart attack and 702,880 people die from heart disease. This considerable human toll will continue as the population ages. (See links in News/Links to access sources).
Heart Disease Treatment
U.S. physicians in 2020 performed approximately 2.0 million cardiovascular procedures, most often to improve coronary artery blood flow. That year, cardiologists performed 642,000 angioplasties and stent implantations and more than one million additional cardiovascular procedures. We believe many of these patients would have benefited from cardiac support during their procedures, and that an additional 400,000 patients were too severely ill to even undergo such a procedure.
