Product Name
Symvess™

Symvess™ is the first and only acellular tissue-engineered vessel for urgent revascularization of extremity arterial injuries when an autologous vein graft isn’t feasible. Implanted to repair damaged arteries and restore blood flow, it gradually repopulates with the patient’s own cells - transforming from an engineered conduit into a living vessel.

Early name explorations highlighted speed, healing, and vascular strength. The team ultimately chose Symvess™ for its balance of science and empathy: “Sym” evokes symbiosis, sympathy, and synchrony, capturing how the vessel works in harmony with the patient’s tissue, while “Vess” grounds the name in its vascular purpose. Short, modern, and memorable, Symvess™ signals innovation, reliability, and life-saving performance at the moment it matters most.

Wildly creative names have a place in naming, but are best avoided when naming biologics. It is important that the name be concise, somewhat descriptive, and unambiguous, enabling researchers, clinicians, and regulators to quickly understand what the product is and how it functions. The name should also follow scientific and regulatory conventions, avoid confusion with existing therapies, and remain appropriate as the biologic moves from development into clinical use.
