VasoNova makes intelligent devices to guide catheters throughout the body. The company’s first product is an intelligent PICC catheter. The technology aids the clinician steering the catheter to the best anatomical position based on a specific physiologic algorithm. This ensures placing the catheter correctly upon the first attempt. The product will reduce negative outcomes, improve nursing work flow, decrease the number of confirmatory chest Xrays required and increase patient satisfaction because of fewer needle sticks. Economically, hospitals will benefit by providing drug therapy in a timely fashion increasing the likelihood of early discharge. VasoNova has identified at least 5 more applications that it intends to pursue utilizing its unique navigation technology.
