Press Releases and Statements

BIOTRONIK Neuro today announced an entirely new service option for Prospera™ patients, called BioVantage™. This expanded service option complements Prospera's daily remote monitoring by providing patients a remote, monthly check-in with an experienced spinal cord stimulation (SCS) specialist from BIOTRONIK Neuro’s Embrace One™ Care Team. The goal is to enhance patient therapy education and support, promoting not just optimal pain relief but also consistent progress toward the treatment plan. Ultimately, BioVantage aims to prolong patient engagement and compliance. Remote patient management has

BIOTRONIK today announces the launch of the latest innovations in guide extension catheters: FlowGuide and Guidion Short. These new devices have been developed to offer enhanced support and to facilitate the delivery of devices during complex vascular interventions. The catheters introduce key elements, such as perfusion holes in the distal shaft of the FlowGuide catheter, and a transradial access and trapping friendly design for both new products. Through our collaboration with IMDS, the FlowGuide and Guidion Short catheters expand BIOTRONIK's portfolio of high-performance devices dedicated

Dr. Fadi Mansour performed the first Canadian implant of BIOTRONIK’s newest pacemaker and CRT-P generation earlier this year at the Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal. The patient received an Amvia Sky HF-T QP triple chamber pacemaker device. The first implant follows the full market release of BIOTRONIK’s newest family of pacemaker and CRT-P devices, featuring patient-centric technologies for better patient care and simplified workflows. “The Amvia Sky HF-T QP offers a significant number of advanced features, making it the most complete CRT-P on the market including streamlined

BIOTRONIK is pleased to announce the availability of an expanded Maximum Allowed Diameters (MAD) range for the Orsiro® Mission Drug Eluting Stent (DES). Diameters 2.25mm to 3.00mm of the Orsiro Mission DES can now be extended up to 4.0mm, while diameters 3.5mm and 4.0mm can reach up to 5.0mm. This new MAD expansion follows the approvals from CE, FDA, and Health Canada obtained in the past months. This update reflects a global effort for the Orsiro Mission stent technology to match contemporary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), enabling practitioners to optimize vessel apposition and

BIOTRONIK announced the presentation of the 12-month results from the BIONETIC-I study this week at LINC 2024. The prospective, international, multicenter single-arm observational study evaluated the treatment of de novo, restenotic or occluded iliac lesions in 160 patients with Rutherford Class 2-6 peripheral artery disease using the Dynetic ®-35 cobalt chromium balloon-expandable stent system. At baseline, 12.5% of enrolled patients had critical limb ischemia, 90% had calcified lesions (30.7% severe calcification), and there was an average of 85.5% stenosis in the target lesion. The primary

New two-year follow-up data from the BIOMAG-I first-in-human trial confirms a reliable and predictable long-term safety profile for Freesolve™, the third-generation resorbable magnesium scaffold (RMS), establishing it as a true alternative to contemporary drug-eluting stents (DES). The results were presented by Prof. Dr. Michael Haude at the EuroPCR 2024 conference yesterday in Paris. At the 24-month follow-up, the incidence of target lesion failure (TLF) was 3.5% alongside a corresponding 3.5% incidence of target lesion revascularization (TLR) compares favorably with various second-generation

BIOTRONIK announced today the enrollment of the first patient in the BIOMAG-II trial aiming to evaluate the safety and clinical performance of its new-generation resorbable magnesium scaffold (RMS), Freesolve™, compared to a contemporary drug-eluting stent (DES). "We are delighted to enroll the first patient in the BIOMAG-II trial, which may play a critical role in helping establish resorbable metallic scaffolds as part of clinical practice in the future and I am particularly encouraged by the implantation results of the Freesolve resorbable magnesium scaffold," said Dr. Juan F. Iglesias, HUG

BIOTRONIK, a leading global medical technology company specializing in innovative cardiovascular and endovascular solutions, proudly announces a multinational distribution partnership with Texray, the pioneering developer of a groundbreaking radiation protection textile. In this collaboration BIOTRONIK will distribute Texray's head and neck protectors starting in selected European and Middle Eastern countries. Both partners aim to raise awareness about the critical importance of radiation protection for healthcare professionals, who serve in environments where radiation exposure is an inherent

During a Late-Breaking Session at the annual meeting of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), Dr. Ennio C. L. Pisanò, Vito Fazzi Hospital, Lecce, Italy, unveiled groundbreaking clinical findings from the randomized, multicenter B3 study 1 regarding the impact of CLS on the incidence of Subclinical AF in SND patients. CLS is a unique rate-adaptive algorithm that is able to detect not only movement but emotional stress, physical stress, or physical activity. In essence, CLS is an impedance-based sensor that translates changes in cardiac contractility to increase heart rate –mimicking a

BIOTRONIK announced the CE approval and first European implant of its latest insertable cardiac monitor (ICM). The BIOMONITOR IV features artificial intelligence (AI) for false positive reduction. It is the only ICM on the market with premature ventricular and atrial contraction (PVC and PAC) discrimination capabilities, 1,2 as well as industry-leading signal quality and transmission success for highly reliable remote patient management. 3 False positive detections may take clinicians a considerable amount of time to review. That’s why BIOMONITOR IV features SmartECG, an intelligent system

BIOTRONIK has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation (BDD) from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Freesolve™ below-the-knee resorbable magnesium scaffold (BTK RMS). The Freesolve BTK RMS is designed for individuals suffering from chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). CLTI is the most severe form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), estimated to affect 11% of the 200 million people suffering from PAD globally. CLTI is associated with high rates of amputation and mortality as well as high care costs. 1 To qualify for a Breakthrough Device Designation, a device

Following the recent CE approval of the Solia S lead 1 for LBBAP, BIOTRONIK proudly announces the world’s first and only complete CSP system, now fully CE-approved for Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP). 2 The BIOTRONIK CSP system comprises three proven components: Selectra 3D catheters offering exceptional handling 3, Solia S leads – the most popular choice of stylet-driven leads for LBBAP 4 providing enhanced stability 3, and the Amvia pacemaker family, the first and only family approved for LBBAP. 2 Notably, this groundbreaking system is the world’s first and only approved MR
