VB Devices, start-up member of CataloniaBio & HealthTech, receives CE mark approval for their CrabClamp® and Varixio® medical devices.
CrabClamp® is a first-in-class device that allows surgeons to easily secure guidewires and catheters during endovascular procedures. Having secured initial distribution agreements with specialised companies in the field, VB Devices will launch the product in Europe in January 2021, while continuing to expand its distribution network globally.
"I am excited to see this need-based invention reach the market and hopeful it will facilitate surgical procedures for many of my colleagues and their assistants", says Dr Enric Roche, vascular surgeon and co-founder of VB Devices.
The other novel product Varixio® is the first system that automates the preparation of foam for sclerotherapy, the most widely used treatment for varicose veins. Approximately 25% of adults have varicose veins. "It's a opportunity to expand this minimally invasive procedure to even more patients" remarks Dr Roche. Varixio® will be offered soon via ecommerce on the website varixio.com.
