Ascense Medical is a Vienna-based medical-device developer working on elastic vascular and endovascular grafts for aortic disease. Its Complion material platform is designed to mimic the elasticity of a healthy aorta and preserve its Windkessel function: absorbing pressure peaks and maintaining more continuous blood flow. The company is developing knitted polymer grafts with a polyurethane coating for aortic dissection and other aortic repair applications, with the aim of reducing complications associated with conventional stiff grafts. Its current published materials describe product development; a historical target for a European launch in 2026–2027 is a development forecast, rather than proof of regulatory approval or commercial availability.
