BlueHealer

BlueHealer is developing a breakthrough implant to prevent major amputations in patients with advanced Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a chronic condition affecting over 12M Americans. Each year, 150,000 patients lose a limb due to the failure of current revascularization procedures, creating a cycle of repeated interventions, artery damage, and inevitable amputation. BlueHealer offers a new solution: an orthopedic implant that harnesses the body’s natural healing response to grow new blood vessels, restore blood flow, heal chronic wounds, and ultimately save limbs. Our device provides a last-resort limb salvage option for late-stage PAD patients, potentially saving hospital systems up to $38.5 billion while preserving patient mobility and independence.
