New type of catheter steering system
Aeon Scientific develops wirelessly controlled devices to be used within the human body. As a focus the company is working on a new type of catheter steering system using its patented technology for electromagnetic manipulation. The system supports electrophysiologists during catheter ablation procedures for the treatment of arrhythmias, such as Atrial Fibrillation. It allows them to move the ablation catheter within the heart of the patient with magnetic fields. The improved control leads to better outcomes, reduced treatment costs and a higher number of patients that can be treated.
