Blood Hypertension
Hypertension is a common global health issue. Despite ongoing efforts to enhance its management, blood pressure control rates have significantly decreased over the past twenty years. When left untreated, hypertension can cause numerous serious health complications such as chronic renal failure, cognitive decline, heart failure and stroke.

Renal Artery Denervation
The 3rd pillar in blood hypertension management
Renal artery denervation is a medical procedure aimed at treating resistant hypertension by disrupting the nerves in the walls of the renal arteries, which supply blood to the kidneys. These nerves play a key role in regulating blood pressure by controlling the release of certain hormones and maintaining the balance of salt and water in the body. During the procedure, a catheter is inserted through the femoral artery and guided to the renal arteries, where radiofrequency energy or ultrasound is used to ablate the overactive nerves. This disruption reduces the signals that contribute to high blood pressure, thereby helping to lower it. Renal artery denervation has shown promise as an effective treatment for patients whose hypertension is not adequately managed with medication alone.
The Problem
Existing treatments consists of medications and lifestyle changes which are ineffective in majority of blood hypertension patients.
Existing interventional solutions offer no real-time imaging, have limited anatomical fit and may require more than one device per procedure
The Solution
Image Guided Renal Denervation
Integrated real-time imaging
One-size fits all
Access both bifurcation &
main branches
Record & analyze procedure data
Circumferential & segmental lesions
