Products and Services

Venus Medtech (Hangzhou) Inc. offers a diverse portfolio of products and services designed to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare sector, particularly in the realm of cardiac care:

• VenusA-Valve: This transcatheter aortic heart valve replacement (TAVR) product is engineered to treat severe aortic stenosis. VenusA-Valve represents a minimally invasive alternative to conventional surgical valve replacement, offering patients a quicker recovery time and a less traumatic procedure.
• VenusP-Valve: Aimed at treating the dysfunction of the right ventricular outflow tract, the VenusP-Valve is a transcatheter pulmonary valve system. Its development underscores the company’s commitment to addressing a broad spectrum of heart valve diseases.
• V8/TAV8 balloon aortic valvuloplasty catheter systems: These systems are designed for the valvuloplasty procedure that precedes valve replacement therapies. They are crucial for preparing the valve area for the implantation of a transcatheter heart valve.
• TriGUARD3: A cerebral embolic protection device, TriGUARD3 is developed to minimize the risk of brain damage and prevent cerebral embolism during TAVR and other structural heart disease surgeries. Its use reflects the company’s holistic approach to patient care, safeguarding not just the heart but also the brain during complex cardiac interventions.

In addition to these products, Venus Medtech is at the forefront of exploring and developing future cardiac solutions:

• VenusA-Plus and VenusA-Pilot: Currently in the product candidate stage, these TAVR products are being developed to offer enhanced features and benefits compared to the existing VenusA-Valve, highlighting the company’s ongoing innovation in the TAVR space.
• Transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve replacement products: Expanding its portfolio to cover a wider range of heart valve diseases, Venus Medtech is working on transcatheter solutions for mitral and tricuspid valve replacement, aiming to offer minimally invasive options for patients suffering from diseases affecting these valves.
• Liwen RF ablation system: Tailored for the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, this system exemplifies the company's dedication to broadening its therapeutic offerings beyond valve diseases, addressing other significant cardiac conditions.
• Renal denervation for the treatment of hypertension: Venturing into the treatment of hypertension, Venus Medtech is developing a renal denervation system, which represents a novel approach to managing blood pressure levels, furthering the company's mission to improve cardiovascular health.
