Invention Summary
0006-01 is a guide wire which has an anchoring feature which can be actuated to deploy and which can be locked in its deployed state.
Value Proposition
*Allows for the guide wire to be anchored within the renal artery while advancing more stiff devices during complex aneurysm repair.
*Allows for the guide wire to be anchored within the coronary sinus while advancing pace maker leads.
*Saves valuable procedural and catheterization lab time by preventing slip out and subsequent re-accessing of difficult anatomy.
Market Opportunity
This technology can provide a strategic advantage for companies who have an already existing line of pace maker leads or branched and fenestrated stent grafts.
Intellectual Property
Pending utility patent application in the US, Europe, Japan, China, Australia, and Canada.
Development Status
To date, drawings have been made. Next steps are to develop a prototype.
