How Mobia Medical’s Stroke Recovery Mission Muscled It Past MedTech’s Public Market Malaise Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the DeviceTalks Weekly podcast, Mobia Medical CEO Richard Foust explains how the “magical” qualities of the company's neurotechnology helped steer it toward an IPO. Mobia Medical’s implantable pulse generator promotes motor skill recovery in patients who have suffered a stroke. The company’s early commercial success has generated modest revenue, but Foust tells host Tom Salemi that “not all revenue is the same,” explaining why a large, untapped and growing market won over venture capital investors a few years ago and public investors this spring.

MassDevice Editor Chris Newmarker returns with another edition of Newmarker’s Newsmakers. Tom and Chris repeatedly lament the departure of former Senior Editor Sean Whooley, who recently left MassDevice to pursue other opportunities. Despite his departure, Sean’s reporting remains front and center, as he wrote all five featured stories covering Danaher, Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Integer, Teleflex, and private equity investors.

Can Calyxo CEO Catanese Lead New Company Down Familiar Tract to Build Another Urology Powerhouse Jun 26, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of the DeviceTalks Weekly Podcast, host Tom Salemi is reassured by his conversation with Joe Catanese, CEO of Calyxo, a urology startup that has developed a system designed to simplify kidney stone removal.

Catanese previously helped build Neotract, a urology startup that was acquired by Teleflex for more than $1 billion. Now, he's leading another potential gamechanger and may have his sights set on an IPO.

Speaking of gamechangers, HistoSonics continues to shatter fundraising expectations. The company recently completed a financing round that valued it at $3.75 billion. In this week's FOMO interview, HistoSonics President and CEO Mike Blue speaks with MassDevice Editor Chris Newmarker during a keynote conversation at DeviceTalks Minnesota.

In this excerpt, Blue reflects on the company's first major fundraising round, which attracted high-profile investors including Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel, and shares his perspective on just how large the opportunity for histotripsy could become.

But first, Tom and Jim Hammerand, managing editor of Medical Design & Outsourcing, discuss AI—or LLMs, or whatever term you prefer. Is the hype beginning to fade? And what should the industry make of the recent announcement from Midjourney Medical?

Show notes

In this episode of the DeviceTalks Weekly Podcast, Host Tom Salemi visits his MedTech happy place — renal denervation — with Recor Medical COO Helen Reeve Stoffer. Reeve Stoffer joined the company shortly before the bottom fell out of the renal denervation market in 2014. This interview picks up from that point and follows Recor's pursuit of FDA approval to where denervation technology may be applied next.

This week’s FOMO features a portion of a keynote interview with Manny Villafaña, MedTech legend and CEO of Medical 21. The conversation took place at DeviceTalks Minnesota and focuses on the dream that saved St. Jude Medical.

Skyler Rivera, associate editor of MassDevice, gives us a preview of her upcoming feature in Medical Design & Outsourcing magazine on the race to provide telesurgery capabilities to surgical robotic systems.

Show notes

In this episode, Host Tom Salemi is joined by Darla Hutton, Intuitive’s global vice president of cardiac surgery, to discuss the surgical robotics giant’s return to cardiac surgery.

But first, Harmonic Drive’s Bill Frey, regional sales engineer, joins us in the FOMO Studio. Go to HarmonicDrive.net for more information.
