Our solution for complex coronary interventions -
Corindus CorPath GRX
The world's leading system for robotic-assisted coronary interventions advances these procedures for caregivers and patients alike. CorPath GRX helps to create a safer work environment for interventionalists by allowing operators to perform procedures from a radiation-shielded work space. With automated procedural movements and precise anatomical measurements, the robotic system also helps operators to navigate complex anatomies more consistently and predictably, aids in selection of the appropriate stent and ensures accuracy in device-positioning. Using CorPath GRX allows physicians to participate in cutting-edge clinical innovation, enhancing their reputation and that of their institution.
Physician protection
Reduce time in lead and radiation exposure
Reduction of radiation exposure to the operator with R-PCI2
CorPath GRX virtually eliminates radiation exposure for primary operators,6 can potentially reduce strain and fatigue, and lessen the risk that careers will be cut short.
This exclusive article explores questions that arise in the context of R-PCI. How real are the dangers? How safe is this new approach? Does the investment that would be required pay for itself? Explore the answers to these questions and see how we enter a safer, less debilitating era in cardiology.
Procedural automation
Navigate complex anatomies routinely
CorPath GRX supports operators with consistent and predictable automated movements for guidewire navigation and lesion crossing. By replicating the manual techniques of highly skilled interventionalists, R-PCI helps to standardize procedures and reduce variability across operators – allowing for greater confidence when undertaking complex PCI.
See the difference
Precision stenting
Position the right stent in the right place
Two-thirds of visually estimated lesions result in inappropriate stent length selection,9 which negatively impacts outcomes. These patients are more than twice as likely to require target-vessel revascularization within one year and three times as likely to have an myocardial infarction within three years.17
CorPath GRX allows for instantaneous sub-mm measurement of anatomy and precise device positioning with 1mm movements. This may reduce measurement errors, the need for extra stents, and the incidence of longitudinal geographic miss.9
This exclusive paper explores questions around robotic-assisted PCI and how it may improve stent placement. Why can’t we fully rely on what we see? How can robotic precision improve stent placement and therefore quality of care? Is robotics worth the investment? Explore the answers to these questions and see how robotic assistance may add value by increasing precision and improving quality of care.
Differentiating technology
Elevate your lab for patients and staff
Meeting – and ideally exceeding – the expectations of patients is a priority for all healthcare providers. Meeting the expectations of employees is also a key imperative as this affects recruitment and retention.
Access to leading technologies such as robotic-assisted PCI allows physicians to participate in leading edge clinical innovation, enhancing their reputation and that of their institution. It also elevates the role of the cath lab team and can increase job satisfaction.
Offering innovative procedures such as R-PCI allows healthcare providers to differentiate themselves with the potential to increase patient volumes.
