Bioresorbable

Vesta is designed for Electrophysiologists and Cardiologists

Disclaimer: medical device under development. 

Vesta is a bioresorbable, antibiotic eluting envelope for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs): Pacemakers, Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapies (CRTs). Vesta holds and stabilizes the CIED while providing sustained, localized elution of antibiotics.

Infection in CIEDs

Infection in cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, can occur due to various factors, including surgical site contamination and hematogenous microbial spread.

Real-world infection rate in

high-risk CIED patients.

When left untreated, these infections can lead to serious complications, such as device malfunction, sepsis, or even death. 

CIED infections are severe clinical conditions, leading to device removal, hospitalization, and even mortality.

Medical guidelines recommend full extraction of the CIED in case of infection 

The efficacy, safety and cost-benefits of antibiotic eluting envelopes in reducing local and systemic infections in CIEDs has been demonstrated in large-scale randomized clinical trials     , as well as in real-world evidence data.

Antibiotic eluting envelopes are the consensus choice to reduce infection risk in CIED patients. 

Technologies

We combine high-tech material, process and chemical engineering to achieve the medical goals desired by the clinical community, with human-centered design to maximize end-user experience in the operating room.

Biocompatible resorbable materials

All Vesta materials are FDA-approved for implantable medical devices. They meet the highest biocompatibility standards and fully resorb in the body after implantation. Their mechanical and chemical properties can be precisely tuned to meet clinical needs.

Controlled release of active compounds

Our advanced technology allows precise tuning of antibiotic and drug elution. We ensure accurate dosage and controlled, sustained release to meet any medical need. The amount, type, and release dynamics of compounds can be customized to clinical requirements.

Human-centered design

We use state-of-the-art designs to prioritize doctor experience and patient comfort. Vesta is easily deployable, with just a 1-minute preparation time. Softness, form-factor, and ease of implantation have been central to our design.
