This significant milestone opens a new pathway to a more advanced and effective approach to stroke treatment and related neurovascular and peripheral conditions.
Artiria’s real-time deflectable guidewire offers the next level of control to the physicians and an improved way to navigate the complex network of cerebral arteries. The distal tip can be shaped, in real time, without removing the device from the patient. Similarly, the support profile of the wire can be adjusted along the procedure, as needed.
“We are excited about receiving the FDA clearance on a cutting-edge Swiss-made technology” said Guillaume Petit-Pierre, co-founder and CEO of Artiria Medical. ” We are looking forward to starting our clinical activities in the U.S. very soon! “. Marc Boers, co-founder and COO of Artiria shared: “Our sincere thanks go out to our dedicated team who has helped us to reach this significant milestone.”
Neurovascular interventions are often hindered by the time-consuming task of navigating through the dense maze of brain arteries. Artiria’s innovation provides a novel solution, seamlessly integrating into current clinical practice. The company next steps involve gaining clinical experience through collaboration with U.S.-based centers to demonstrate the clinical effectiveness of its product.
