What happens when you take the hassle out of the equation?
A short, straightforward ACES® procedure.
A fully implantable approach to chronic pleural effusions.
No external drainage bottles to manage.
Sometimes, moving care forward means making it simpler.
Sometimes, the innovation is in the simplification. 🫁
The ACES® procedure is designed to be straightforward, with a fully implantable approach that means no external drainage bottles or ongoing at-home drainage management.
Less to manage doesn't have to mean more complicated.
✈️ Wheels up! And yes… he’s already thinking about football 🏈👀
After a busy stop in South Florida, our favorite traveler is heading home.
Another hospital visit in the books, another flight to the next stop.
📍Where's Verne heading next?

The procedure ends. The workload doesn't🫁
Drainage questions
Bottle coordination
Supply logistics
For teams managing recurrent pleural effusions, the work can continue long after the patient leaves.
The ACES® device helps take ongoing drainage management out of the workflow.
Tomorrow: Rethinking Pleural Effusion Care: Surgical Experience with ACES® at 8:00 pm ET / 7:00 pm CT.
Hear Mark Block, MD, Benjamin Haithcock, MD & Eitan Podgaetz, MD share their experience from patient selection, the procedure & clinical experience: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi…
🎸 Verne’s making it a two-city kind of week. 👀
First stop: Chattanooga
Next stop: Nashville 🤠
At this rate, Verne needs his own tour bus. 🚌
Two cities down... but where's he headed next?

Another 5K. Another reason to celebrate. 🫁💙
ACES® patient Rody was back at the 5K alongside Dr. Maldonado, running to raise awareness for lung cancer & celebrating the incredible journey they’ve shared along the way.
We're honored to cheer her on every step of the way. 👟
What if recurrent pleural effusion care could mean less to manage?

#MedTechMonday 🫁 Sometimes better care means having less to manage.
Less drainage to manage
Less equipment to coordinate
Less to think about after the procedure
That's the thinking behind the ACES® device: one fully implantable approach to recurrent pleural effusions.
Just because it's routine doesn't mean it's simple🫁
Pleural effusions doesn't end with the procedure.
It's the drainage schedules. The supply coordination. The patient education. The follow-up.
Ongoing management can add up for patients, clinicians, and office staff alike.
When care gets simpler, everyone wins.
Freedom for patients.
More time for clinicians.
Greater simplicity for office staff.
Peace of mind for caregivers.
Reducing the burden of recurrent pleural effusions isn't just about one person, it's about everyone involved in the journey.

What if innovation wasn't about adding more...
...but managing less?
Less coordination.
Less complexity.
Less burden.
One implant. Less everything.

What are we really managing?🫁We talk about managing pleural effusions, but how much time is spent managing everything around them?
☎️Patient calls
💧Drainage schedules
🥛Supply coordination
📆Follow-up logistics
Sometimes the greatest burden is everything required to manage it
A big thank you to Element Research Group lab team for helping make our ACES® training programs possible! 🫁🔬
Your expertise and support help clinicians get hands-on experience with ACES bringing us one step closer to simpler pleural effusion care for the patients who need it.
Here’s to the people who keep care moving forward. 🫁
This Labor Day Weekend, we’re raising a glass to the clinicians, nurses, technicians, and care teams who show up, solve problems, and keep pushing patient care forward day after day.
Happy Labor Day Weekend! ❤️🤍💙

Sometimes the greatest burden isn't the condition itself, it's everything required to manage it.
We had the opportunity to spend time with Dr. Gilbert & Dr. Chu from MUSC for hands-on training & conversations around pleural effusion management.
It's great to bring talented specialists together to share expertise & explore ways to make care simpler for patients & care teams.
A little Colorado adventure after #AABIP2026 🫁⛰️
With home-field advantage, Co-Founder John Streeter gave CEO & Co-Founder Martin Mayse, MD the grand tour at Garden of the Gods.
2 co-founders. 1 incredible view. And a lot of work behind the scenes helping bring ACES® to life.
