Combining the Progreat microcatheter with a Glidewire GT, the Progreat Coaxial Microcatheter System is designed to increase procedural efficiency and reduce the risks of procedural problems, such as kinking.

The ZIPwire Hydrophilic Guide Wire features a number of elements designed to enhance the ability to steer, handle and track the device.
The wire's coating supports smooth exchanges with other devices and is designed to support crossing of difficult lesions. A flexible and refined tip is designed to allow physicians to maneuver through tortuous blood vessels and facilitates smooth catheter advancement and precise positioning. A robust nitinol core resists kinking and transmits rotation along the length of the device (torque transmission), which improves maneuverability.

A new single-use biliary balloon dilator, MaxPass delivers procedural efficiency through rapid balloon deflation for the time-sensitive team conducting Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP). It is designed to work with the Olympus JF/TJF and V-System duodenoscopes.

The On-Site vascular closure device is designed for precise and effective percutaneous arterial closure without leaving intra-arterial components behind that can potentially cause trauma.
Over-the-wire placement secures collagen precisely above the arteriotomy to achieve hemostasis. The precision closure device delivers an extravascular collagen sponge plug at the femoral arterial puncture site. Advanced Micropore sponge collagen provides a mechanical barrier within the tissue tract while enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

A computer-based simulator for helping users acquire, develop, maintain and assess the motor skills and cognitive knowledge needed to perform intravenous access procedures, the CathSim AccuTouch system has been integral to training programs. A new Phlebotomy module adds safety needles and an updated collection tube draw order. These advancements align CathSim procedures with standards recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI, formerly NCCLS) and contribute to the system's realistic training environment.

At 29 cc, OVATIO DR by ELA Medical is the world’s smallest dual-chamber (DR) ICD, incorporating the AAIsafeR pacing mode and PARAD , which detects ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
The AAIsafeR promotes heart activity by limiting unnecessary stimulation in the right ventricle, and the PARAD/

Changing the entire paradigm of ECG management from the “data island” concept to the complete longitudinal patient information system, Mortara’s DICOM ECG interface connected live to Cerner’s CVNet Cardiovascular Information System enables clinicians to use their existing RIS/PACS system for storage and editing of ECGs.

The AB5000 Circulatory Support System provides temporary support for one or both sides of the natural heart in circumstances where the heart has failed, giving the patient’s heart the opportunity to rest and potentially recover – and giving surgeons the therapeutic flexibility necessary to determine the best endpoint for treatment.
The sterile and disposable AB5000 Ventricle is a major component of the AB5000 Circulatory Support System.

ABIOMED Inc. is commencing its pilot clinical trial in the U.S. for the IMPELLA 2.5 minimally invasive ventricular assist device (VAD) after recent FDA approval. The approval is conditioned upon the company’s submission of additional information to the FDA within a limited time frame.
The Impella Recover 2.5, an investigational device, allows the heart to rest and recover by actively unloading the ventricle, reducing myocardial workload and oxygen consumption while increasing cardiac output, coronary and end-organ perfusion.

SceptreP3 is a hybrid PET/CT system that integrates the “Power of Three” suite of differentiating capabilities.
