VClip™ restores mitral valve function and overcomes limitations of current technologies
BRISBANE, Australia & EAGAN, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anteris Technologies Ltd (ASX: AVR), a structural heart company developing DurAVR™ THV, a new class of TAVR and the world’s only balloon-expandable, single-piece biomimetic aortic replacement valve shaped to mimic the native human valve, and v2vmedtech, inc., a structural heart company developing a next generation Transcatheter Edge to Edge Repair (TEER) system for mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation today announced they have reached concept lock on the first phase of the system.
TEER is fast becoming the primary intervention for patients with mitral and tricuspid valve disease, however current marketed systems have limitations that often prevent optimal procedural outcomes or limit eligibility for certain patient groups. The VClip™ design intent is to address these unmet needs and provide better outcomes for patients.
Dr. Vinayak Bapat, CMO v2vmedtech, inc., commented, Today’s concept lock provides us important proof of concept data. Working closely with engineers and leading interventional cardiologists has allowed us to proceed rapidly as we drive innovation in the TEER space.
David St Denis, CEO v2vmedtech, inc. and COO Anteris Technologies Ltd, commented, Achieving this milestone is an important step as we advance VClip™ toward a first-in-human study. Applying the same physician led collaborative design model as we successfully deployed in the development of DurAVR™ has allowed us to make significant progress in a rapid manner.
