Company profile:

Aeon Scientific, a spin-off from the ETH Zurich, is a medical device company, with a CE marked interventional robotic system, called Aeon Phocus, for use in cardiac electrophysiology and additional disposable products. Clinical use of the novel system started in August 2015. The patented technology allows, through the use of magnetic fields generated by electromagnets, to remotely control interventional instruments such as catheters and guide wires in patients with great precision, thus reducing invasiveness and maximizing efficacy, safety and efficiency. The first application is for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias through catheter ablation, but the goal is to turn the system into a platform product for multiple clinical applications.

Products and services:

With the Aeon Phocus we provide the best possible control over ablation catheters in the heart, while also meeting all other important requirements such as for example compatibility with other devices needed in the procedure. The product supports electrophysiologists during catheter ablation procedures for the treatment of all cardiac arrhythmias by allowing them to move the ablation catheter within the heart of the patient with magnetic fields. With high precision and ease of use, the physician can remotely steer the catheter with a joystick while being protected from x-ray radiation. The improved control leads to improved efficacy, safety and efficiency, as well as to an increase in the number of patients. As additional products we currently offer our required disposable MCA (Mechanical Catheter Advancer) and various magnetic ablation catheters.
