“Primum non nocere” – “above all, do no harm” (based on the Hippocratic Oath)
We are not physicians, we are medical device engineers. Nevertheless, we are just as committed to this ethical principle. Because for us, people and their health are the highest good, it is our essential need to research, advance and finally establish devices for interventions guided by such a side-effect-free, precise method as magnetic resonance imaging and in this way contribute to the future of minimally invasive medicine.
We take up this challenge with a team of highly trained scientists and engineers who work with a pioneering spirit, passion and sense on cutting-edge technologies and materials to pave this visionary way.
We develop and distribute guidewires and instruments at the best possible, holistic compromise between technical innovation and safety/quality. In this way we guide minimally interventions into the next era: We provide physicians with MR compatible devices to facilitate progress of minimally-invasive medicine through MRI guided interventions
- By distributing CE marked guidewires (more devices to come)
- By connecting inventive physicians with device developers and manufacturers
Why magnetic resonance imaging for interventions?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique that, in contrast to computer tomography (CT), does not require ionizing X-rays or contrast agents that are harmful to the kidneys. In addition, the technology, which is based on the tissue-dependent relaxation times of the proton spin, provides a considerably higher soft tissue contrast. Hence, more illnesses can be identified earlier and with more accuracy and patient (as well as physician) is not exposed to the cancerogenic radiation with devastating long-term consequences.
We develop products for interventional MRI
and thus enable interventions without harmful radiation exposure.
