The robotic cardiac catheter system developed by the startup delivers therapies with increased precision. The system, which does not use pull wires, magnets, or motors, relies solely on computer-controlled microfluidic pressure.
In 2019, Moray Medical was named as a Roseman Innovator by UCSF Rosenman Institute for its innovative technology and patient impact.
Previously, Gore Innovation Center prototyping lab allowed Moray Medicals to test, build and enhance its catheter system. Now, it offers the startup its broad testing and manufacturing capabilities to aid transformative breakthroughs.
Moray Medical co-founder Phillip Laby said: “The Gore Innovation Center offers deep engineering expertise and foundational capabilities that have helped us drive our idea forward. We have made significant advancements on bringing robotic dexterity, precision and ease-of-use to a range of therapies.”
