Drawing inspiration from family, Koya Medical created a new treatment for the common ailment and relocated its innovative thinking from California to North Texas.
According to the Vein and Vascular Institute, one out of three Americans over the age of 45 has a vein disease, and until now, the most common treatment for the limb swelling that often accompanies venous diseases required patients to be hooked up to a machine that was plugged into the wall. And until earlier this month, Koya Medical, the first company to develop an alternative treatment, was headquartered in California.
“We cut the cord with Dayspring,” said Damian Rippole, CFO, at the grand opening of Koya’s new headquarters in the Design District on June 10.
Dayspring is non-pneumatic, which means it doesn’t require air pressure for support, and, by wearing a small, lightweight Lithium-ion battery, people can move while using it. They can take a walk around the block, go shopping, go to a game—in other words, live their lives.
