Company overview

Flow Medical is the Chicago pulmonary-embolism company operating as Flow Medical Solutions, Inc. Its physician founders are Jonathan Paul, an interventional cardiologist, and Osman Ahmed, an interventional radiologist, both associated with the University of Chicago.

The company is developing an all-in-one angiography, infusion and monitoring catheter for catheter-directed thrombolysis. An integrated feedback mechanism is intended to help physicians follow clot resolution and tailor lytic therapy. These are development aims, rather than established evidence that the device reduces complications.

Jennifer Fried is Co-Founder and CEO. The company announced a $5 million seed round in December 2024, including $2 million previously secured from friends and family. This profile concerns the pulmonary-embolism developer at flowmedical.co; marketing authorization and routine commercial availability have not been established in the reviewed sources.
