In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Christopher Haig, co-founder and CEO of Efemoral Medical.

Efemoral is developing bioresorbable scaffold technology for peripheral arterial disease.

Chris has over 25 years of experience in cardiovascular devices, holding leadership roles at strategics including Guidant Corporation and Abbott Vascular, and driving growth at startups such as Calypso Medical and QT Vascular, where he built commercial infrastructure and launched multiple products ahead of its $55 million IPO.

In this interview, Chris shares how bioresorbable scaffold technology found new life for peripheral arterial disease — and the lessons on matching tech to significant needs and choosing trial sites for lasting data.
