PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

Up to 10,587,582 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale, from time to time, by the Selling Securityholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees (the "Selling Securityholders") of up to 10,587,582 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), issued pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of November 11, 2022, as amended on April 4, 2023, May 13, 2023 and July 5, 2023, by and among MTAC, MTAC Merger Sub, Inc. and TriSalus Operating Life Sciences, Inc. ("Legacy TriSalus") to the Selling Securityholders.

The Selling Securityholders are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and any profits on the sales of shares of our Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders and any discounts, commissions, or concessions received by the Selling Stockholders are deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus from time to time. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices.

The Selling Securityholders may sell the shares of Common Stock being offered for resale through various methods, as described in the section titled "Plan of Distribution." These sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. In connection with any sales of shares of Common Stock offered hereunder, the Selling Securityholders and any underwriters, agents, brokers or dealers participating in such sales will be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of these shares of Common Stock, including with regard to compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of shares of Common Stock. See the section titled "Plan of Distribution." We will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus.

The Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbols "TLSI." On October 21, 2024, the last reported sales price of our Common Stock was $4.25 per share.

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined under U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements. This prospectus complies with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is an emerging growth company. We are incorporated in Delaware.

Investing in our shares of Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 4 of this prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to this prospectus.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger on August 10, 2023, MTAC changed its name from MedTech Acquisition Corporation to TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc. and Legacy TriSalus changed its name from TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc. to TriSalus Operating Life Sciences, Inc.

These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus or the date of the applicable information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Except to the extent required by applicable law, we are under no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or revise their forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our shares of Common Stock, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and the information set forth in the section titled "Risk Factors" or incorporated by reference therein or otherwise incorporated by reference or included elsewhere in this prospectus, before deciding to invest in our shares of common stock. For purposes of this section, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references to "TriSalus," "the Company," "we," "our," "ours," "us" or similar terms refer to TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries after the Closing.

Overview

We are a growing, oncology focused medical technology business bringing disruptive drug delivery technology with the goal of improving therapeutic delivery to liver and pancreatic tumors. Additionally, we are exploring the integration of our technology with our investigational immunotherapeutic, nelitolimod, a class C Toll-like receptor 9 agonist, for a range of liver and pancreatic indications. Our ultimate goal is to transform the treatment paradigm for patients battling liver and pancreatic tumors. We have developed an innovative organ-specific platform that is designed to overcome two of the most significant challenges that prevent optimal delivery and performance of therapeutics in these difficult-to-treat diseases: (i) high intratumoral pressure caused by tumor growth and collapsed vasculature restricting the delivery of oncology therapeutics and (ii) the immunosuppressive properties of liver and pancreatic tumor immune cells. By systematically addressing these barriers, we aim to improve response to therapies and to enable improved patient outcomes.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, and therefore we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have our internal control over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus, our periodic reports and our proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year's second fiscal quarter, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period or (iv) December 31, 2025.

We are also a smaller reporting company as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as (i) the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year's second fiscal quarter, or (ii) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year's second fiscal quarter.

THE OFFERING

Shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Securityholders

We are registering the resale by the Selling Securityholders named in this prospectus, or their permitted transferees, an aggregate of 10,587,582 shares of Common Stock.

Given the substantial number of shares of Common Stock being registered for potential resale by Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus, the sale of shares by Selling Securityholders of a large number of shares, or the perception in the market that the Selling Securityholders intend to sell a large number of shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of our Common Stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Common Stock.

Terms of the offering The Selling Securityholders will determine when and how they will dispose of the shares of Common Stock registered for resale under this prospectus.
Use of proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders.
Risk factors Before investing in our shares of Common Stock, you should carefully read and consider the information set forth in the section titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 4 of this prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our shares of Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before you make a decision to buy our shares of Common Stock, you should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety together with other information in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations. Please also read carefully the section above titled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

Sales of our Common Stock or the perception of such sales, by us or the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus, in the public market or otherwise, could cause the market price for our securities to decline, even though the Selling Securityholders would still realize a profit on sales at lower prices. Resales of the securities offered by this prospectus may cause the market price of such securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

The sale of our Common Stock in the public market or otherwise, including sales pursuant to this prospectus, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of our Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. Resales of our Common Stock may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Certain of the Selling Securityholders named in this prospectus acquired securities at prices that are significantly less than the current trading price of our Common Stock. Accordingly, certain of the Selling Securityholders could still realize a profit on sales at lower prices.

In addition, the Selling Securityholders named in this prospectus hold a disproportionately large portion of our outstanding Common Stock. The Common Stock being offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus by the Selling Securityholders would represent approximately 34.7% of our outstanding Common Stock as of October 21, 2024. Given the substantial number of shares of Common Stock being registered for potential resale by Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus, the sale of shares by the Selling Securityholders of a large number of shares, or the perception in the market that the Selling Securityholders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of our Common Stock or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Common Stock. The Selling Securityholders will be able to sell all of their securities held and registered for resale under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part for so long as such registration statement is in effect. Even if the trading price of our Common Stock falls to or significantly below the current trading price, the Selling Securityholders may still have an incentive to sell and profit due to the nominal purchase prices paid by such Selling Securityholders, which are significantly lower than the purchase prices paid by the public securityholders. Certain of our Selling Securityholders acquired the Common Stock at prices that are significantly lower than the current trading price of our Common Stock.

3

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales. We will pay the expenses associated with the registration of the shares of Common Stock as described in the "Plan of Distribution" section in this prospectus.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale, from time to time, by the Selling Securityholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees of up to 10,587,582 shares of Common Stock issued to the Selling Securityholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Selling Securityholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Common Stock set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. As used in this prospectus, the term "Selling Securityholders" includes the persons listed in the table below, together with any additional Selling Securityholders listed in any subsequent amendment to this prospectus, and their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors, designees and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Securityholders' interests in the Common Stock other than through a public sale.

Except as set forth in the footnotes below, the following table sets forth, based on written representations from the Selling Securityholders, certain information as of October 21, 2024, regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders and the shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Securityholders. The applicable percentage ownership of Common Stock is based on approximately 30,491,072 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 21, 2024. Information with respect to shares of Common Stock owned beneficially after the offering assumes the Selling Securityholders sell all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus and do not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional shares of Common Stock. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell some, all or none of their shares of Common Stock.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security or the right to acquire such power within 60 days. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the Selling Securityholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. Except as otherwise described below, based on the information provided to us by the Selling Securityholders, no Selling Securityholders is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker dealer.

Please see the section titled "Plan of Distribution" for further information regarding the Selling Securityholders' method of distributing these shares.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the resale by the Selling Securityholders or their permitted transferees from time to time of up to 10,587,582 shares of Common Stock issued to Selling Securityholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of Common Stock to be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus, including with regard to compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of the shares of Common Stock.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders will be the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock less any discounts and commissions borne by the Selling Securityholders.

The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Securityholders. The term "Selling Securityholders" includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares of Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Securityholders as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. These sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of Common Stock by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
· block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
· an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq;
· through trading plans entered into by a Selling Securityholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their shares of Common Stock on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;
· short sales;
· distribution to employees, members, limited partners or securityholders of the Selling Securityholders;
· through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transaction, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
· by pledge to secured debts and other obligations;
· delayed delivery arrangements;
· to or through underwriters or broker-dealers;
· in "at the market" offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;
· in privately negotiated transactions;
· in options transactions;

7

· through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or
· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In addition, any shares of Common Stock that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling securityholder. The Selling Securityholders may also sell the shares of Common Stock short and redeliver the shares of Common Stock to close out such short positions. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus, which shares of Common Stock such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Securityholder may also pledge shares of Common Stock to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares of Common Stock pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Securityholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

In connection with any sales of shares of Common Stock offered hereunder, the Selling Securityholders and any underwriters, agents, brokers or dealers participating in such sales will be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any profits realized by any Selling Securityholder on the sales of shares of our Common Stock and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by the Selling Securityholders are deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The compensation of any broker-dealer may also be deemed to be underwriting discounts and under the Securities Act. Each Selling Securityholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. At the time a particular offer of shares of Common Stock is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares of Common Stock must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

We have advised the Selling Securityholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares of Common Stock in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares of Common Stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until such time as (A) the securities subject to such registration statement have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with such registration statement; (B) such securities have been otherwise transferred, new certificates or book entry provisions for such securities not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by the Company and subsequent public distribution of such securities shall not require registration under the Securities Act; (C) such securities have ceased to be outstanding; (D) such securities may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the SEC) without limitation as to volume and manner of sale or other public information requirements; or (E) such securities have been sold to, or through, a broker, dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or other public securities transaction.

Legal fees and expenses $ 50,000.00
Miscellaneous fees and expenses $ 15,000.00

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification by the Registrant of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its Certificate of Incorporation that a director or officer of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's or officer's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for a director's or officer's acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for a director, unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases redemptions or other distributions, (4) for a director or officer, any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit or (5) for an officer, any action by or in the right of the corporation. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided in our Certificate of Incorporation. Each indemnification agreement provides for indemnification and advancements by the Registrant of certain expenses and costs relating to claims, suits or proceedings arising from his or her service to the Registrant or, at our request, service to other entities, as officers or directors to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract qualified directors and officers.

The Registrant also maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (1) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, while acting in their capacity as directors and officers of the Registrant and (2) to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to any indemnification provision contained in the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or otherwise as a matter of law.

As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date

(b) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
