Fist Assist is a novel, medical device start-up that has developed the first renal care wearable device focused on changing the standard of care of vein dilation by improving outcomes, reducing costs and improving patient compliance for the ESRD market. The Fist Assist device is an intermittent pneumatic compression device focused on vein dilation for Stage 4 and Stage 5 ESRD patients.
The Fist Assist® device (US Patent 8231558) is an external medical intermittent pneumatic compression device that can apply intermittent pressure to a specific arm vein that may help dilate the vein after fistula placement.
There is a global need to provide better vein dilation methods and devices to sufficiently dilate a vein for hemodialysis, help mature fistula, and help ensure that AVF reach their optimal size without extra delay and extra procedures.
