American BioMed will be bringing the OmniFilter to market next year. The market for this device in the US alone could be as much as $500 million a year. This carotid artery filter could be used to help remove the plaque that breaks loose during surgery to open a constricted area of the carotid artery. Strokes are the third leading cause of death in the United States and carotid artery occlusion is the leading cause of strokes. AMBI has what a hope will be a terrific patented product here in the OmniFilter:

The carotid artery runs through the neck, branching to the face and brain. In people with atherosclerosis, fatty deposits may build up at the branch point -- the place where you feel your pulse. With time, the deposits may block the artery completely or a piece of plaque may break off and lodge in the brain. The result is a stroke, which kills brain cells by depriving them of oxygen and nutrients. The dying cells then wreak havoc on surrounding parts of the brain.

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in industrialized countries, accounting for the lingering symptoms of 2 to 3 million people in the United States. It also kills half a million Americans each year, and carotid artery disease is thought to be the cause 20 to 30 percent of the time.
