Based in Campbell, Calif., Imperative Care is speeding new answers to stroke by developing a portfolio of innovative solutions to address the vast and urgent unmet needs in stroke care. Imperative Care has 510(k) clearances from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for two product platforms: a family of access catheters called Large Distal Platform (LDP) designed to facilitate smooth, consistent navigation into blood vessels of the brain and the Zoom Aspiration System, a family of products designed to facilitate clot removal during ischemic stroke. Imperative Care was co-founded in 2015 by Dr. Nick Hopkins, a pioneer of endovascular neurointervention and former Chief Scientific Officer of Jacobs Institute, and Fred Khosravi, a medtech entrepreneur and innovator. Imperative Care is the twenty-first start-up founded by Khosravi and the Incept LLC medical technology accelerator during the past 23 years. For more information, visit www.imperativecare.com.
