Symvess, or the ATEV, is a first-in-class bioengineered human tissue designed to be a universally implantable vascular conduit for arterial replacement and repair.

While harvesting vein from a trauma patient takes valuable surgical time, Symvess is available off-the-shelf and does not require further injuring the patient to obtain vascular repair material.

Humacyte’s application included results from the V005 pivotal Phase 2/3 clinical study, as well as real-world evidence from the treatment of wartime injuries in Ukraine under a humanitarian aid program.

Symvess was used to repair many types of traumatic injuries, including car accidents, gunshot wounds, blast wounds, and industrial accidents .

Symvess may be removed from its packaging and ready for implantation within minutes, and does not involve creating additional incisions in already-injured patients.

Last month, Humacyte announced a registered direct offering of approximately $15.0 million .

Price Action: At last check on Friday, HUMA stock was up 58.1% at $5.47 during the premarket session.
