Launch and Education for Innovative Drug Delivery Device

National, Commercial, Private

Using earned and paid media to educate clinicians

TriSalus launched an innovative new infusion system that leverages its proven, proprietary delivery technology to deliver therapeutics to solid tumors. The new, 510(k) approved, TriNav Infusion System drug delivery device received transitional pass-through payment (TPT) status from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). There was a lack of understanding of the benefits of the TPT process among key stakeholder audiences – interventional radiologists, surgical oncologists and hospital administrators. LHS aimed to promote the launch of the new TriNav device while educating key stakeholders about the benefits of the device and CMS TPT status.
