Description
- Abstract
- The medfree® valve repair system will innovatively improve upon the current market leading mitraclip device, while leveraging and building on the proven transcatheter edge-to-edge repair technique. We aim to address this vastly unmet percutaneous structural heart market by delivering a simpler, easier-to-use device in a smaller 12F catheter system that can be used by a single operator. Medfree has already completed preclinical GLP studies in porcine model (cohort a: n=2, 30 days; cohort b: n=5, 140 days) with outstanding results. MRI and durability (fatigue) studies were also completed with outstanding results. We are now seeking funds via NIH commercialization readiness program, in preparation for EFS/FIH clinical studies.
