Haemonetics Announces CE Mark Certification for the SavvyWire® Pre-Shaped Pressure Guidewire
The SavvyWire guidewire is engineered to uniquely support multiple steps over the same guidewire, reducing procedural device exchanges, providing stable aortic valve delivery and positioning while continuously monitoring cardiac hemodynamics. Additionally, it has been designed to enable reliable LV pacing without need for adjunct devices or venous access for conventional right ventricular pacing during TAVI procedures.
"More than 20 years after the first introduction of TAVI in France , the SavvyWire guidewire brings unique capabilities to European markets to help further streamline and optimize the procedure through efficient, predictable wire performance and LV pacing," said Dr. Lionel Leroux from CHU Bordeaux. Professor Thomas Modine of CHU Bordeaux added, "This wire marks an important step in the assessment of TAVI patients. With one wire in the same position, there are less manipulations and we are enabled to continuously monitor the patient's haemodynamics."
According to Professor Pim Tonino from Catharina Ziekenhuis Eindhoven, "The SavvyWire guidewire raises the standard for hemodynamic measurements throughout the TAVI procedure, enabling physicians to make important procedural decisions immediately without having to exchange devices."
"CE Mark certification for the SavvyWire guidewire is a key step in our strategic international expansion, as we continue to broaden our leadership and impact by creating greater access to critical interventional technologies that advance healthcare standards," said Stewart Strong , President, Global Hospital at Haemonetics. "We look forward to leveraging our strong global commercial infrastructure to bring the SavvyWire guidewire's fiber optic sensor technology to
Europe , the Middle East and
Africa , and enable more physicians to optimize TAVI procedures to improve patient outcomes."
