Company Overview
Robotic technology for medical procedures is a rapidly expanding market for interventional and surgical procedures. Corindus Vascular Robotics is developing a new standard of care through the development of precision vascular robotics for PCI procedures. Vascular robotics offers substantial benefits across the healthcare system spectrum from patient to physician to hospital.
Corindus was founded by Dr. Rafael Beyar, MD, interventional cardiologist and Tal Wenderow. Dr. Beyar had the idea to use remote control and robotics to move vascular interventional devices while he was removed from the radiation field. Dr. Beyar enlisted Tal Wenderow to create the first prototype and Corindus Inc. was formed.
The company holds 7 US and foreign patents covering various aspects of robotic catheter control and vascular intervention. There are over 20 pending applications for US and foreign locations.
Corindus Inc. is currently based in Natick, Massachusetts and has successfully completed a 30 patient human trial with the CorPath Vascular Robotic System. Corindus continues to focus on improving patient care as they approach their US clinical trial in 2010.
