Advancing Neurovascular Care with Robotic Technologies
The Problem
Navigation in Complex Vasculature
Brain's blood vessels are difficult to navigate because of their complex and tortuous anatomy. Difficult target access leads to delayed treatment and poor clinical outcomes for stroke patients, and tortuous anatomy increases the risk of procedural complications, such as vessel perforation or dissection.
Our Solution
Magnetic Steering & Navigation
Our magnetically steerable soft-robotic guidewire enables faster, safer, and easier access to hard-to-reach targets in the brain's vasculature, reducing procedural time and complications to improve patient outcomes while reducing the cost of neuroendovascular care.
Our Technology
Reach the Unreachable
TM
After years of research and development at MIT, we introduce our neurovascular robotic system to revolutionize endovascular treatments of strokes and brain aneurysms. Our system enables physicians to reach previously untreatable areas of the brain, shortens procedure times for improved outcomes, and minimizes unsafe maneuvers that can lead to devastating hemorrhagic complications.
Our Mission
Shaping the Future of Neurointervention
Our goal at Magnendo is to transform the way we treat stroke or brain aneurysms with faster, safer, and easier access through the power of robotic technologies. Setting a new standard in endovascular space with our novel robotic platform, we push the boundaries of care so that more patients in more places can get back to living the lives they love. In the long run, our technology can open the possibilities for remote stroke treatment to help more patients have access to the life-saving endovascular therapy.
