Hansen Medical, Inc. (HNSN) to Showcase Magellan Robotic System at Eighth Annual European Symposium of Vascular Biomaterials

On May 6, 2013, global intravascular robotics leader Hansen Medical announced it will be exhibiting its Magellan Robotic System in Booth 5 at the Eighth Annual European Symposium of Vascular Biomaterials (ESVB). The symposium will take place May 10-13 at the Strasbourg Hilton in Strasbourg, France.

Hansen Medical’s Magellan Robotic System is currently installed at Hôpital Civil Strasbourg and has been utilized in various successful cases during the time it has been there. At the symposium, Hansen Medical’s vice president of advanced technology, Francis Macnamara, will deliver a presentation entitled “Basics about the Remote Endovascular Catheter Navigation Magellan System.” The presentation will take place at 8:15 a.m. on May 11.

“We are excited to be exhibiting our technology at the ESVB Conference, which provides an interactive platform for key opinion leaders and vascular specialists to collaborate and discuss advancements in endovascular technologies,” said Hansen Medical President and CEO Bruce Barclay. “We have a large and growing pipeline of clinical interest in our Magellan System, and we continue to build on this momentum through exhibitions at conferences such as ESVB and the recent Charing Cross Symposium.”

The Magellan Robotic System is based on the flexible robotic technology found in the Sensei-X Robotic Catheter System, which is currently being sold in the United States and Europe and has been used in more than 10,000 patients. The Magellan System has some key enhancements, however:

• The Magellan System provides solid catheter stability for placement of therapeutic devices.
• It is designed to allow predictable procedure times and increased case throughput.
• It enables independent, individual robotic control of the distal tips of both the outer sheath and the inner leader catheter, as well as robotic manipulation of standard guidewires.
• It is designed for sufficient extension inside the body to access hard-to-reach peripheral
• It preserves the open architecture featured in the Sensei System, allowing for subsequent use of many 6F therapeutic devices currently on the market.
• It has been created to potentially reduce radiation exposure and fatigue for physicians by employing a remote physician workstation.
