Morph Access Innovations - Overview

Access Innovations is a stand alone business built on steerable thin walled catheter shaft technology. This technology platform has countless applications in vascular access and is competitive with far more expensive robotic and magnetic techniques to control catheters.

The Morph catheter family is a fully scalable platform. We are working hard to enable it to be available to physicians who can benefit from its ability to navigate through tortuous anatomy, customize the shape of the catheter to the patient's anatomy and their clinical needs during the procedure, and to have stellar back up support once positioned.

The current Morph product line does improve physician control and reduce procedural times. This enhances patient safety. There has been a growing body of literature that plaque emboli is dislodged during procedures due to catheter manipulation. Instead of going in with multiple preshaped catheters and scraping the soft curves up and down the aorta, the Morph line enables the physician to go in with a straight catheter and when at the target lesion deflect it to take on the desired shape in real time. The minimal manipulation approach to intervention is good for the patient, and can save enormous time during procedures.
