About ReCor Medical, Inc.
ReCor Medical is a private medical device company that designs and manufactures a proprietary ultrasound ablation system for renal denervation (RDN) called the Paradise System™. RDN is a new potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of hypertension, one of the most prevalent medical conditions. The Paradise System is approved for sale in the EU and bears a CE mark, but is not approved for sale in the United States. The System’s intravascular catheters denervate renal nerves by combining the protection of water-based cooling of the renal artery with high intensity ultrasound energy for circumferential renal nerve ablation. ReCor has initiated enrollment in its RADIANCE-HTN study, en IDE-approved, randomized, sham-controlled trial to demonstrate the efficacy of the Paradise System in patients with hypertension. RADIANCE-HTN is being conducted in approximately 35 centers in the United States, Netherlands, UK, France and Germany.
