🤯 The Stent That Does What Others Can’t #shorts

Ever heard of a medical device that breaks all the rules? 🤔 Traditional stents used to have a big problem: They were either flexible (but left gaps), OR strong (but stiff and harder to place) It was a trade-off, and doctors had to choose. But then came the CGuard® Prime Carotid Stent System. InspireMD's Shane Gleason explains how CGuard Prime combines the best of both worlds. Imagine a stent that's: Strong AND safe - with a special, super-fine mesh to keep plaque exactly where it belongs, preventing strokes + flexible and easy - Yet it's still agile enough for doctors to place with ease. Check here: to discover how this design is changing stroke prevention in our newest Life of Flow episode with Shane Gleason. Go to our channel now!

🙄 Physicians Aren’t Always Logical #shorts

People don't like trying new things... But that mindset is scary when it comes from physicians and people in healthcare. It's one of the toughest challenges in MedTech: convincing experienced doctors to abandon a 20-year-old method for a demonstrably safer and better technology. Why do some doctors resist safer innovation? And why would you take risks by choosing outdated standards? That's the danger of comfort. Want to hear the full insight? Go to Life Of Flow's channel to get the full conversation on the topic. What's your opinion on resistance to change? Share your thoughts below! 👇
