About
Medivalve is developing acWire, a medical device intended to facilitate the accurate placement and alignment of medical devices in the cardiovascular system during diagnostic and interventional cardiovascular procedures. The acWire device is specifically intended for implantation plane acquisition during transcatheter aortic-valve implantation procedures using fluoroscopic imaging. The Medivalve acWire guidewire is a single-use, fully disposable medical device utilizing shape-memory alloy technology designed to enable identification of cardiovascular structures during interventional cardiovascular procedures utilizing existing imaging methods. There is no learning curve with acWire for interventional cardiologists because it employs the same methods and techniques used today to access the cardiovascular system. Once directed to a selected cardiovascular location, acWire is deformable under fluoroscopic guidance to identify a desired, specific anatomical landmark for subsequent therapeutic treatment.
