Vital Access: Deerfield backs startup with $10M for its hemodialysis vascular access implant

Vital Access has secured a $10 million credit facility from Deerfield Management to expand marketing of its FDA-cleared implant to make it easier to access the vascular system of end-stage renal disease patients for hemodialysis. The cash is also intended to invest in additional vascular access products that might stem from the company's platform.
