MaRVis Technologies GMBH
Physicians continue to wait patiently for the day they can perform interventional cardiovascular and neurological procedures using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for guidance instead of x-ray. However, current guidewires and catheters don't work because they contain metal components that can distort MR imaging or potentially heat up inside the patient. To the rescue: MaRVis Technologies, which is developing guidewires and catheters that lack a metal core. The company's devices are built in a multi-composite manner--from core rods composed of fiberglass filaments enclosed with epoxy resin and doped with small metal particles--for MRI compatibility and visualization and to maintain the desirable material characteristics of current guidewires and catheters.
