Reverse Medical Corporation recently announced that it has received CE mark for its RePort Guide Catheter System, intended to provide intracranial access during interventional neurovascular procedures.
The RePort Guide Catheter System provides the neurovascular specialist with a new tool that can navigate deeply into the cerebral vascular anatomy, enabling them to treat more patients than with currently available technologies.
Reverse Medical scientific and clinical advisor Dr Satoshi Tateshima, UCLA Interventional Neuroradiology, Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, stated, “The neurovascular anatomy often presents challenges related to fundamental access, and deep brain therapeutic microcatheter navigation support. The RePort Guide Catheter System design represents a game changing advancement over other guide catheters available today. The system is designed to be used across a broad range of neuro interventional procedures. It has also been designed to enable placement beyond the skull base more easily and safely than other currently available devices. I look forward to its US commercial availability in the future.”
The company plans to commence commercialisation during 2010.
