In the US there are performed about 270.000 bypass surgeries per year, and Medistim’s equipment is used in about 10 % of the surgeries performed. Considering the large, underdeveloped and accessible market combined with its new product, Medistim is in a great position to accelerate growth in the US market with the vision of achieving “standard of care” status.

About VeriQC™
Medistim is in the process of launching its latest generation flowmeter, the VeriQC, which is a new and ground breaking concept that combines transit time blood flow measurement (TTFM) and ultrasound imaging into one system. The combination is expected to become the new standard for intraoperative quality assessment during cardiac and vascular surgery. The introduction of intraoperative ultrasound imaging will make it easier to plan, execute and assure the quality of a surgical procedure, as it provides enhanced surgical precision and morphological information, and ultimately, the best possible health outcome for the patient.
