Permaseal was validated in the STASIS Clinical Study (Secure Transapical Access and Closure Study) conducted at five European Sites. Results indicated that Permaseal shortened operating time and hospital stay, reduced adverse events including the need for transfusion and reduced 12-month mortality and stroke rates to 0%. The technology provides a direct, safe and simple, access and closure site for emerging complex structural heart disease procedures including TAVR, TMVR, PFO, and other minimally invasive cardiac procedures.
“The CE Mark approval of Permaseal is a tremendous achievement for MID,” said Michael Whitman, MID’s Founder, President & CEO. “Permaseal is the first in a series of products designed to replace the need for suturing in structural heart procedures. We are excited that this technology is now available to our European surgeons and their patients.”
“In the near future, PolyCor and MyoLastTM technologies will be utilized in a broad range of proprietary, catheter-based products, addressing unmet needs in tricuspid repair, mitral repair and mitral valve fixation,” added Whitman. “MID’s technology platform enables open-surgical procedures to be performed percutaneously.”
Permaseal is currently the only transapical access and closure device available for commercial use in the EU. FDA clearance to market Permaseal is pending.
