Período documentado: 2019-12-01 hasta 2020-03-31
Artiria Medical is a Swiss spin-off from the EPFL founded in 2017 with the vision to bring disruptive minimally invasive technologies to physicians in order to decrease stroke mortality and improve the patient’s quality of life. Our first product, SmartGUIDE, is the next generation guidewire which comprises a unique remotely-shapeable tip, developed in collaboration with renowned specialists in the field of interventional neuroradiology. This patented innovation allows the surgeon to deflect in real-time, using a manipulator handle, the device head whilst navigating through brain arteries, making it easy to use with little training required.
From a financial perspective, SmartGUIDE replaces on average 2 devices for each procedure, thus reducing the overall surgery cost by €1,400 and is fully compatible with existing endovascular devices. An average hospital doing 320 procedures per year will realise €448,000 cost savings annually.
