A medical device company improving surgical oncology
About
Fairway Biomed was founded out of Washington University in St. Louis when cofounders Jeff Chininis and Chet Hammill began collaborating in the Summer of 2017. The company focusses on medical devices to improve surgical oncology. Our first device, the LIVO, better controls bleeding in resection surgeries to remove tumors in the liver, kidney, and lung. This potentially life saving technology is in its preclinical R&D phase and we are raising a Seed Round of funding to begin FDA clearance testing.
