Apica Cardiovascular

Cardiovascular medical devices

Apica is a pre revenue medical device company commercialising a technology for access and closure of the heart’s apex and the peripheral vascular system. The underlying technology has applications in a number of medical procedures such as Transcatheter Heart Valves (TAVI), AAA, and LVAD implantation. The technology standardizes access and closure for large bore therapeutic devices without loss of blood via minimally invasive surgical or percutaneous access on the beating heart. The technology has progressed to the point where it has proven the initial concept in animal and cadaver models and is now moving toward initial clinical trials.
