Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc.
(the “Company”), we are providing this letter in response to comments (the “Comments”)
received from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”)
by letter dated September 27, 2023 with respect to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1,

being registered for resale, disclose the price that the selling securityholders paid for

2. Here and in your risk factors,
use of proceeds and management's discussion and analysis, and elsewhere where you address
your recent trading prices as compared to the warrant exercise price, please revise to clarify
that your warrants are out of the money and it is unlikely that warrant holders would exercise
your warrants while the trading price is below the warrant exercise price. In addition, we
note that your disclosure does not present a clear view of your liquidity expectations. We
note, for example:
• Disclosure
in the liquidity discussion on pages 76-77, wherein you state, "We believe that
the proceeds from the Business Combination and [the July 2023] exercise of warrants
should be sufficient to fund our operations through key data read-outs expected in mid-2024.
However, unless we are able to raise additional capital, we do not currently expect that
our existing cash and cash equivalents, including cash received in connection with the Business
Combination will be sufficient to fund our projected liquidity requirements for the next
12 months, creating substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern."
• The
liquidity discussion refers to the section addressing "Funding Requirements," wherein
you state, "We will likely require additional capital in the near term in order to continue
to fund our operations through equity or debt financings, partnerships, collaborations, or
other sources which may not be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all,
and such capital, if obtained, may not be sufficient to enable us to continue to implement
our long-term business strategy."
Please revise your cover page, summary,
risk factors, use of proceeds, and MD&A to clarify the ability of your company to fund your operations on a prospective basis with
your current cash on hand.
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 4, 61–62, 66,
81–82 and 85–86 of Amendment No. 2.
3. Revise your prospectus to disclose
the price that each selling securityholder paid for the securities being registered for resale.
To the extent you have not done so, highlight any differences in the current trading price,
the prices that the Sponsor, PIPE investors and other selling securityholders acquired their
shares and warrants, and the price that the public securityholders acquired their shares
and warrants. Disclose that while the Sponsor, PIPE investors and other selling securityholders
may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price, the public securityholders
may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences
in the purchase prices and the current trading price. Please also disclose the potential
profit the selling securityholders will earn based on the current trading price. Lastly,
please include appropriate risk factor disclosure.
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 5 and 60 of Amendment
No. 2.

revenues for 2023 were $19.2 million, as set forth in the unaudited prospective financial
information management prepared and provided to the Board, the company’s financial
advisors and the SPAC in connection with the evaluation of the Business Combination. We also
note that your actual revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately
$7.6 million. It appears that you will miss your 2023 revenue projection. Please update your
disclosure in Liquidity and Capital Resources, and elsewhere, to provide updated information
about the company’s financial position and further risks to the business operations
and liquidity in light of these circumstances.
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company respectfully informs the Staff that there are no changes to its 2023 revenue projection. In addition, the Company respectfully
advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on pages 80–81 of Amendment No. 2.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 75
6. In light of the significant
number of redemptions and the unlikelihood that the company will receive significant proceeds
from exercises of the warrants because of the disparity between the exercise price of the
warrants and the current trading price of the common stock, expand your discussion of capital
resources to address any changes in the company’s liquidity position since the business
combination.
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on pages 81–82 of Amendment No. 2.
7. We note your disclosure that
this offering involves the potential sale of a substantial portion of shares for resale and
that such sales could impact the market price of the company’s common stock. Please
expand your disclosure to highlight the fact that a number of beneficial owners of more than
5% will be able to sell all of their shares for so long as the registration statement of
which this prospectus forms a part is available for use. In providing this disclosure, please
include the number of beneficial owners of more than 5% of your shares that are participating
in the offering.
In response to the Staff’s comment,

disclosures throughout the filing and address areas that appear to need updating or that
present inconsistencies. Non-exclusive examples of areas where disclosure should be updated
are as follows:
• To

the current stage of clinical development for your product candidates, and whether you have
made any determination with respect to seeking expedited approval pathways or orphan drug
status (pages 13, 29-31, 96 and 98-103). We note the product pipeline in the investor
presentation submitted with your Form 8-K filed September 1, 2023, does not correspond
with the disclosure on page 98;
• Update
the disclosure regarding the CARES Act, and the status of related legislation (pages 35-36);
• Update
the status of your patents and patent applications, which currently are stated as of July 16,
2023, and your progress in notifying certain foreign patent offices of your ownership of
foreign patent rights related to SD-101 (pages 44-45 and 48 and 110-113);
• Update
the disclosure regarding the impact of new tax laws and management's remediation plans regarding
the material weaknesses in your internal controls (page 55);
• Update
the risk factors related to the market for your securities and price volatility (page 56);
• Revise
to clarify that your warrants are exercisable (page 59);
• Revise
the risk factors to clarify that your current charter contains an exclusive forum provision,
rather than it "will provide" that federal district courts will be the sole and
exclusive forum (page 62);
• Update
the recent developments on page 68; and
• Please
update the status of the transactions described in "Certain Relationships and Related
Party Transactions," beginning on page 155, to the extent the transactions do not
reflect the effects of the business combination.
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on pages 7–8, 10, 13, 19, 22, 32, 37, 42, 45–46,
55–59, 62–64, 72, 94, 99, 103, 105–108, 111, 113, 115–117 and 161–163 of Amendment No. 2. The Company
also respectfully advises the Staff that there have not been any changes to its determinations with respect to seeking expedited approval
pathways or orphan drug status.

Re: MedTech Acquisition Corp
Amendment No. 1 to
Registration Statement on Form S-4
Filed January 14,
2023
File No. 333-269138
Dear Ms. Ansart:
On behalf of our client, MedTech
Acquisition Corporation (the “Company” or “MTAC”), set forth below are the responses of the Company to the comments
of the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in the Staff’s letter, dated February
28, 2023, with respect to the above-referenced filing. The numbered items set forth below repeat (in bold italics) the comments of the
Staff reflected in the comment letter, and following such comments are the responses of the Company (in regular type). Concurrently herewith,
the Company is filing Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Amended Registration Statement”) that
reflect the responses to your comments. In addition, we are delivering to the Staff clean and marked courtesy copies of the Amended Registration
Statement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter have the meanings given to such terms in the Amended Registration Statement.
References to page numbers in this letter are to page numbers in the Amended Registration Statement.

Plan of Merger. Please revise to define this term in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment,

Combination Proposal
Background of the Business Combination,
page 141
2. We note your response to comment 20 and reissue the comment in part. We also note the contract with ACD,
which previously accounted for 20% of TriSalus’ revenues, was terminated in December 2022. Please clarify whether any discussions
took place with TriSalus during the negotiation period about the potential loss of clients, such as ACD, in the near future.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 147-148 and 152 of the Amended Registration Statement.
Projected Financial Information,
page 157
3. We note your response to comment 26. Please revise to provide additional detail concerning the assumptions
underlying your projected unit sales and market share. For example, on page 159 you state that one assumption is that TriSalus will increase
“the number of TriSalus sales representatives in FY2023 to provide full nationwide coverage allowing TriNav sales to continue to
accelerate in both FY2023 and FY2024.” Please revise to state at what percent sales are assumed to be accelerated in FY2023 and
FY2024 and how this compares to historical figures.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 160-161 of the Amended Registration Statement.
Material U.S. Federal Income
Tax Consequences, page 191
4. We note your disclosure here regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exercise
of redemption rights by stockholders. We also note that the Agreement and Plan of Merger, included as Annex A, states that the business
combination is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Code Section 368(a). Please amend the disclosure
here, and where appropriate, to describe the federal income tax consequences of the entire transaction and not just the federal income
tax consequences of redemptions, as the public stockholders will be making an investment decision whether or not to redeem their shares.
See Item 4(a)(6) of Form S-4.
- 2 -
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
April 21, 2023
Page 3
Response:
In response to the
Staff’s comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company does not believe that the U.S. federal income tax consequences
of the Business Combination are material to the Company or its stockholders because the Business Combination does not affect the tax position
of the Company’s stockholders in any way, regardless of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination.
Whether the transactions
described in the Merger Agreement qualify or fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Code Section 368(a)
does not impact the Company’s stockholders’ decision to approve, or not approve, the Business Combination, to exercise their
redemption rights, or to purchase or sell Common Stock (or, following the consummation of the Business Combination, Combined Company Common
Stock) because qualification as a “reorganization” under Code Section 368(a) does not have any impact on the Company or its
current stockholders. The Merger Agreement does not contemplate existing Company stockholders exchanging their Common Stock for shares
in any other entity; since Company stockholders simply retain their existing shares of Common Stock, there is no taxable event for them
regardless of whether or not Code Section 368(a) is applicable to other parties.
The only parties affected
by the qualification of the Business Combination as a “reorganization” under Code Section 368(a) are TriSalus stockholders.
However, the TriSalus stockholders are not voting at the Meeting and the Amended Registration Statement is not soliciting their consent
to the transactions. Instead, as promptly as practicable after the Amended Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities
Act, TriSalus will disseminate to TriSalus stockholders an information statement containing all information required to be delivered under
Delaware Law, including a description of the material terms of the Business Combination, Merger Agreement and related ancillary documents
as well as the appraisal rights available under Delaware Law, for purposes of soliciting such TriSalus stockholders’ consent to
adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination. The information statement will also contain information with respect
to the qualification of the Business Combination as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Code Section 368(a). In connection
with their consideration of the Business Combination, and based on their review of the information statement, the TriSalus stockholders
can seek advice from their own tax advisors and will be responsible for paying their own taxes, if any, that result from the Business
Combination. The Company and its stockholders are not required to indemnify the TriSalus stockholders for such taxes, if any.
- 3 -
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
April 21, 2023

Accordingly, the qualification
of the Business Combination as a “reorganization” under Code Section 368(a) is irrelevant to the Company’s stockholders’
decision of whether or not to approve the Business Combination or exercise their redemption rights, and TriSalus stockholders will be
provided with the information required under Delaware law, including with respect to the qualification of the Business Combination as
a “reorganization” under Code Section 368(a), through their receipt of an information statement in connection with the solicitation
of their consent to approve the Business Combination and adopt the Merger Agreement.
TriSalus’ Business
Our Customers, page 212
5. We note your revised disclosure on page 258 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations of TriSalus and in your Risk Factors on pages 48-49 and 56 discussing the December 2022 termination of your
contract with ACD, who previously accounted for 20% of TriSalus’ revenues. We also note that you discuss on page 49 that “TriSalus
intends to further develop an in-house marketing organization and sales force with technical expertise and supporting distribution capabilities
to commercialize TriNav.” Please revise your disclosure here or elsewhere in TriSalus’ Business section as appropriate, such
as in your discussion of TriSalus’ distribution on page 231, to discuss any past dependence TriSalus had on ACD as a significant
customer, to disclose the termination of the contract with ACD and to discuss the implications this has for TriSalus’ sales, marketing
and distribution strategy. Refer to Item 101(h)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-K.
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that ACD previously served as the third party intermediary between TriSalus and customers
who accounted for approximately 20% of TriSalus’ sales of TriNav for the year ended December 31, 2022 and approximately 25% of TriSalus’
sales of TriNav for the year ended December 31, 2021. The year-over-year decrease in sales through ACD reflects the beginning of TriSalus’
transition to an internal distribution model. TriSalus does not anticipate a material loss of customers as a result of terminating its
agreement with ACD because its internal distribution team is now working directly with the customers who previously purchased TriNav through
ACD. The Company has revised the disclosure on pages 50, 233, and 258 of the Amended Registration Statement to clarify the foregoing.
Our Platform Solution: Addressing
the Limitations of Current Approaches in Cancer Immunotherapy, page 214
6. We note your response to comment 30 and reissue the comment in part. On page 222 you state “PEDD improved
tumor targeting in liver radioembolization with resin microspheres and significantly increased both T/N ratio and dose delivery compared
to a standard endhole microcatheter” and “PEDD achieved greater on-target distribution of chemotherapy eluting beads, delivering
a significantly higher concentration of therapy in the tumor as compared to standard endhole microcatheters in association with higher
radiographic and pathologic response rates.” Please revise to clarify whether TriSalus conducted head-to-head trials for these comparisons.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 223-224 of the Amended Registration Statement.

estimates were management estimates based on TriSalus data and models and prepared by Lumanity. Please clarify what role Lumanity played
in preparing these estimates.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company has revised footnote 3 to the table on page 217 of the Amended Registration Statement to clarify that the information presented
in the table is based on TriSalus management’s estimates of the market opportunity for SD-101.

Anderson Cancer Center, including, to the extent applicable:
· the nature and scope of any intellectual property transferred;
· quantification of all up-front or execution payments received or paid to date;
· the aggregate amounts paid or received to date under the agreement; and
· disclosure of the termination provisions.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company has revised the disclosure on page 224 of the Amended Registration Statement.

in part. We note that you continue to reference here “the favorable emerging safety profile of SD-101 delivered by PEDD.”
Conclusions regarding efficacy and safety are determinations that only the FDA or a foreign government equivalent has the authority to
make. Please revise your disclosure to eliminate the implication that any TriSalus’ product candidate has been or will ultimately
be determined safe and/or effective. Alternatively, we advise you that you may present the objective data from pre-clinical and clinical
trials without drawing a conclusion from the results. For example, you may note that a candidate was well tolerated or the number of trial
participants who met the identified trial endpoints.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment,
the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 210, 225, and 232 of the Amended Registration Statement.

Response:

11. We note your response to comment 42. Please revise page 230 to state the term of the Dynavax Asset Purchase
Agreement and its termination provisions.
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that, pursuant to the terms of the Dynavax Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Dynavax
Agreement”), the Company acquired (i) SD-101 intellectual property and product know-how, (ii) all permits related to SD-101, (iii)
all regulatory documentation related to SD-101, (iv) the SD-101 investigational new drug and (v) all clinical trial data associated with
SD-101. As an asset purchase transaction, the Dynavax Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.13 to the Amended Registration
Statement, does not include a specific term (other than the duration of royalty payments) nor any termination provisions. Accordingly,
the Company respectfully advises the Staff that the disclosure on page 232 of the Amended Registration Statement includes the duration
of royalty payments to Dynavax and that additional disclosure regarding the term and termination provisions is not necessary for the reasons
stated above.

The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that no definitive agreement with respect to the potential Magnetar Convertible

Dear Mr. Esquivel:
MedTech Acquisition Corporation
(the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) hereby transmits the
Company’s response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”), on August 26, 2022, regarding its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) originally filed with the Commission on March 3, 2022.
For your convenience, we have
repeated below your comment in bold, and have followed the comment with our response. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Form 10-K.
Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021
General
1. With a view toward disclosure, please tell us whether your
sponsor is, is controlled by, or has substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. If so, please revise your disclosure in future filings
to include disclosure that addresses how this fact could impact your ability to complete your initial business combination. For instance,
discuss the risk to investors that you may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company should
the transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS),
or ultimately prohibited. Disclose that as a result, the pool of potential targets with which you could complete an initial business
combination may be limited. Further, disclose that the time necessary for government review of the transaction or a decision to prohibit
the transaction could prevent you from completing an initial business combination and require you to liquidate. Disclose the consequences
of liquidation to investors, such as the losses of the investment opportunity in a target company, any price appreciation in the combined
company, and the warrants, which would expire worthless. Please include an example of your intended disclosure in your response.
Response: The Company respectfully advises
the Staff that its sponsor, MedTech Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is not a non-U.S. person and is neither
controlled by, nor does it have substantial ties with, any non-U.S. person.
