About Phraxis

 Located in St. Paul, MN, Phraxis is an early-stage medical device company developing a new vascular access device for hemodialysis patients. Vascular access has been termed the "Achilles’ Heel" of dialysis since complications with conventional access methods add to patient morbidity and mortality. Phraxis is developing an easily implanted device that provides a minimally invasive non-surgical method for the venous anastomosis that potentially reduces intimal hyperplasia and graft thrombosis.
