Bacchus Vascular lets the good times keep flowing. The company makes the Trellis infusion system, which treats deep vein thrombosis and other clotting disorders. Where typical medication treatments used alone are effective in preventing further clots, they do not always remove clots. The Trellis system is designed to permanently dissolve blood clots in one quickly administered catheter-based procedure. Currently, the system is designed to treat only deep vein thrombosis, but the company is looking into how it can be used to treat other vascular disorders. The company is also focused on making its system an industry standard. Bacchus Vascular was acquired by health care equipment maker Covidien in 2009.
