Capstan Medical
Capstan Medical is a Santa Cruz, California medical device company building a robotic, catheter-based platform to repair and replace heart valves through minimally invasive procedures. By merging surgical robotics, catheter-based delivery, and next-generation implants, the company aims to bring structural heart intervention - starting with mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation - to patients who are too sick or too high-risk for open-heart surgery. Founded in 2020 and led by CEO Maggie Nixon, Capstan has raised more than $140 million and completed its first robot-assisted transcatheter mitral valve replacements in humans.
