Philips and Corindus join forces in the field of advanced robotic-assisted systems for interventional cardiology
Bericht
Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Natick, USA – Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) and Corindus Inc. today announced an alliance agreement to add Corindus’ robotic-assisted system for the minimally invasive treatment of obstructed coronary arteries (also known as percutaneous coronary interventions) to Philips’ interventional cardiology solutions.
Corindus’ innovation focus on robotic-assisted systems for interventional cardiology procedures complements Philips’ expertise and leadership in interventional imaging and clinical informatics. As part of the alliance agreement, Philips has acquired a minority stake in Corindus. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The trend towards image-guided minimally invasive interventions continues to grow, requiring image guidance and catheter controls that enable physicians to optimally perform their procedures. Procedure innovation, driven by the combination of advanced imaging tools, new interventional devices and improved delivery controls, is aimed at simplifying the procedures and facilitating instantly informed decision making, while further reducing discomfort to the patient and the physician.
“Personalized and less invasive treatments are the way forward in patient care,” said Steve Rusckowski, CEO for Philips Healthcare. “As part of our strategy, Philips is committed to delivering integrated interventional solutions for image-guided minimally invasive procedures by working closely with hospitals and industrial partners in different application spaces. Corindus’ advanced interventional tool designed for percutaneous coronary interventions opens up further possibilities of reducing the strain on cardiologists, helping to advance patient care.”
