At VisionAir Solutions, we acknowledge that each patient is unique. This is why we believe that reimagining the airway stent is crucial for the future of interventional airway treatment. Our company strives to work with leading pulmonologists to deliver the essential tools that will allow them to meet the needs of any individual.
VisionAir Solutions is a leader in personalized pulmonary implants. We manufacture patient-specific stents by combining the latest 3D-printing technology with traditional medical-grade silicone injection. These revolutionary "3D Stents" are designed for each patient by their treating pulmonologist in our revolutionary cloud-based software platform.
The VisionAir Team is a nimble cross-functional group of engineers and designers who are highly experienced in developing complex medical device systems. The team has successfully brought two patient-specific systems to market across orthopedics and pulmonology.
