GARLAND, Texas, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Massimo Motor, a subsidiary of Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO), today announced it has successfully obtained the necessary licensing with its partners to launch sales of its products in the states of Oregon and Arkansas. This expansion will add over 100 new big-box retail locations to Massimo’s existing footprint. Products are expected to be available in these new markets in early September.

This expansion is projected to add significant sales during the holiday season based on current initial stocking and re-order trends at the company’s existing footprint.

“In recent weeks, we’ve had productive discussions with top-tier retailers, and the traction we’re seeing in core markets continues to accelerate,” said David Shan, CEO of Massimo Motor. “Adding Oregon and Arkansas is a significant milestone that strengthens our retail presence and positions us for anticipated sustained growth.”

This expansion comes on the heels of strategic enhancements to Massimo’s global sourcing and logistics model, including expanded factory partnerships in Vietnam. These improvements have reduced lead times, improved product flow, and increased operational flexibility — enabling the company to scale effectively with seasonal demands in Q3 and Q4 while maintaining strong dealer and customer support.

“We’re seeing real momentum across the board,” Shan added. “From product availability to partner readiness, Massimo is well-positioned to meet market needs as we enter a peak sales cycle — and this move into Oregon and Arkansas is just the beginning.”

About Massimo Group (NASDAQ: MAMO)
Massimo Group is a manufacturer and distributor of powersports products. Headquartered in Texas, the company offers a full lineup of UTVs, ATVs, and mini bikes built for outdoor adventure.

Aquedeon Medical Inc. Receives FDA Approval to Expand Clinical Trial of Duett Vascular Graft System

By
Advertorial Desk
-

CAUTION: Investigational device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Aquedeon Medical Inc. (AMI) is pleased to announce that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the expansion of its Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial evaluating the Duett Vascular Graft System (Duett System), a novel device designed to facilitate open surgical repair of aortic arch aneurysms and dissections, including hybrid procedures.

AMI is developing the Duett System to address a critical need in open surgical thoracic aortic arch reconstruction, a complex and high-risk procedure typically performed during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) while the patient is on cardiopulmonary bypass. DHCA duration is a critical factor that directly impacts patient outcomes.

During arch reconstruction, the diseased portion of the aorta is excised and replaced with a prosthetic polyester graft. This graft is sutured to the native aorta, and each of its branches is connected to the three major arch vessels supplying blood to the brain and upper body. This portion of the surgery—suturing the graft branches to native vessels—is technically demanding and time-consuming, contributing to prolonged DHCA, which is associated with increased neurological and cardiac risks.

The Duett System is engineered to simplify and accelerate the vascular anastomosis process, with the goal of reducing DHCA duration and re-establishing cerebral perfusion more rapidly.

AMI launched its two-stage IDE clinical trial in 2024 to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Duett System. With the recent FDA approval, the study will now expand to enroll up to 90 patients across additional clinical sites in the United States. This expansion aims to further validate the system’s clinical benefits and procedural efficiency.

“It is exciting that Aquedeon has received FDA approval to expand the Duett IDE study to 90 patients. Open aortic arch surgery is complex and technically demanding. The Duett technology has the potential to transform the field by providing aortic surgeons with an innovative tool to facilitate arch reconstruction and enhance care for patients with aortic disease. We look forward to continued investigation with this novel technology,” said Dr. Wilson Szeto, University of Pennsylvania, Principal Investigator.

“This milestone brings us one step closer to improving outcomes for patients undergoing complex aortic arch reconstruction,” said Tom Palermo, Chief Operating Officer of Aquedeon Medical. “We are grateful for the continued support of our clinical partners and the FDA as we advance the Duett System through the next stage of evaluation.”
