Medical device co Filterlex files for liquidation
Dr. Shimon Eckhouse is chairperson of the company, which developed a device to protect against embolisms during heart procedures
Assessment
Filterlex, a medical device company chaired by Dr. Shimon Eckhouse, has filed for liquidation. Its product, a device designed to protect against embolisms during heart procedures, failed to sustain the business. The key question now is where the technology and its intellectual property land. An acquisition by a larger cardiovascular player remains plausible.
