Harpoon Medical’s Mitral Valve Repair Device To Minimize Invasiveness, Reduce Time of Surgery and Recovery | Medgadget Medgadget

The pictured device, produced by Baltimore-based Harpoon Medical, seeks to provide another in a series of recent improvements in mitral valve repair technology. While perhaps less revolutionary in form than Valtech Cardio’s Cardioband that received its CE Mark approval last week, the Harpoon does promise to cut traditional surgeries down to under an hour in length and drastically reduce the required incision size (to 2-inches or less).
