CVRX

Cvrx, Inc.

A maker of implantable medical devices, CVRx builds Barostim, a tiny device that sits under the skin and gently pulses the body's own carotid baroreceptors to ease the symptoms of heart failure — the first device of its kind approved by the FDA. Founded in 2001 by two engineers, it took its name from a mashup of "cardiovascular" and "Rx," the shorthand for prescription or therapy.
