Merit Medical Systems, a prominent player in healthcare technology, has officially launched its FDA-cleared Micro ACE Advanced Micro-Access System. Additionally, the company plans to apply for CE mark designation for Micro ACE. This latest addition to the Merit Vascular portfolio represents a significant advancement in medical technology.
The portfolio already includes a wide array of percutaneous access and closure devices designed to meet the needs of various medical procedures. The Micro ACE system is engineered with a careful balance of stiffness and resilience to facilitate micro-access in diverse vascular anatomies. This is particularly important for interventional procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating conditions like atherosclerosis, which is a leading cause of vascular diseases.
The Micro ACE system offers notable advantages, including twice the resistance to kinking and compression compared to competitors, and it is 9% stiffer than the industry-standard micro-introducer. Furthermore, its unique marker tip design enhances visibility under fluoroscopy, aiding in accurate positioning during procedures. Merit is actively seeking patents for the innovative Micro ACE technology in both domestic and international markets, demonstrating its commitment to advancing medical interventions.
