Magellan Biomedical
Toronto based venture, Magellan Biomedical, is leading the development of image-guided therapy technology focused on enhancing current cardiovascular interventions. This technology not only allows clinicians to achieve localized position control of any off-the-shelf guidewire, but also enhances the navigation of such devices by leveraging the power of 3D imaging. With roughly 50-80% of typical peripheral arterial disease procedure time dedicated to manipulating the guidewire, such technology has the potential to drastically reduce procedure times as well as overall failure rates. Magellan Biomedical’s technology fits seamlessly into current practices making adoption of the product easy and cost-effective.
