The Problem: Current Limitations in Cardiac Pacing
Traditional pacemakers face significant challenges that our technology addresses:
- Lead-related complications affect 10-15% of patients (infections, fractures, dislodgement)
- Suboptimal pacing locations result in reduced cardiac efficiency
- Limited anatomical targeting prevents access to optimal pacing sites
- Complex surgical procedures increase patient risk and healthcare costs
Current leadless pacemakers are restricted to right ventricular pacing, missing opportunities for more physiological stimulation patterns.
