Hansen Medical Gets CE Mark For Magellan 10Fr Robotic Catheter

(RTTNews) - Hansen Medical Inc. (HNSN) announced that its Magellan 10Fr Robotic Catheter has received European Conformity or CE Marking for use in the peripheral vasculature. Achieving this milestone allows the company to market the Magellan 10Fr Robotic Catheter in Europe and other countries that require the CE Mark.

The Magellan 10Fr Robotic Catheter is the latest addition to the family of robotic catheters used with the Magellan Robotic System. The 10Fr catheter allows for independent, robotic control of the distal tips of two telescoping catheters. The Guide catheter has a 10Fr outer diameter, and features the largest inner lumen (7Fr) in the Magellan catheter family, which enables delivery of therapeutic devices through the robotic catheter in a broader range of endovascular procedures.

The Magellan Robotic System is an advanced technology that drives Magellan Robotic Catheters and guide wires during endovascular procedures. Magellan is designed to offer procedural predictability, control, and catheter stability to physicians as they navigate through the blood vessels and deliver therapy.

Magellan's remote workstation allows physicians to control robotic catheters and guide wires while seated away from the radiation field, potentially reducing physicians' radiation exposure and procedural fatigue.
