Vascular access to the heart
We're looking back at a collaboration project that ended in the fall of last year: the development of a smart steerable catheter by Eindhoven Medical Robotics. LifeTec Group joined this MIT project to improve on vascular access to the heart in the Cardiac BioSimulator platform so that valuable information could be gained on the navigation capabilities of the novel catheter design in a very early phase.

Haermonics back on track
We are happy to report that Haermonics have secured new funding! Previously, LifeTec Group has developed a prototype sensor for Haermonics to detect blood in a saline solution used to flush the chest after cardiac surgery to prevent post-operative complications. We hope that our sensor concept will soon be used to help patients recover from cardiac surgery.
