Profile

We were formed for the sole purpose of commercializing the Blue Halo Coil Catheter. In a clinical study, our IP-protected device design fully drains the bladder. Blue Halo is very protective about our IP (core patent received and provisional patent filed) and does not disclose much information to the public. While we have been very successful with our capital raising, we are seeking the final tranche of capital.
