BioCardia Announces Commercial Availability of Morph® DNA™ Steerable Introducer Product Family
Sunnyvale, Calif. – December 17, 2024 - BioCardia, Inc. [Nasdaq: BCDA], a global leader in cellular and cell-derived therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, announced today the commercial availability of its Morph DNA steerable introducer product family, currently utilized in the Company’s ongoing cell-therapy clinical trials.
“Our team is exploring an initial sales pipeline organically, without expending the operating costs associated with engaging a direct sales force or third-party medical device commercial partners.” said BioCardia CEO, Peter Altman, PhD. “We look forward to demonstrating the value of the Morph DNA product family to physicians for procedures throughout the vascular system.”
Dr. Altman added, “BioCardia remains focused on our CardiAMP Heart Failure I and II clinical trials, studying our investigational FDA designated breakthrough cell therapy product candidate to treat ischemic heart failure. We anticipate final results in the CardiAMP Heart Failure I Trial and five actively enrolling world class centers in the CardiAMP Heart Failure II Trial by the end of the first quarter of 2025.”
About Morph DNA Steerable Introducers
Developed initially to provide enhanced control for biotherapeutic delivery procedures within the heart, the Morph DNA steerable introducer family has bidirectional steering, a proprietary layup for torque response, ergonomic actuation, an adjustable brake for fine control, and a swiveling side port in its hemostasis valve to solve tangling issues and enhance procedures.
Morph DNA designs contain tensioning elements in the catheter that rotate around the catheter shaft, allowing consistent catheter performance in any direction. The DNA name reflects this design, as these tensioning elements resemble the double helix in a strand of DNA. This design is intended to enable smooth navigation and prevent “whip,” when the build-up of mechanical forces in the device causes a catheter to suddenly jump from one orientation to another.
A product brochure detailing available model numbers and sizes is available on the Company’s website at brochure link.
