Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Becomes Exclusive U.S. Distributor for TigerPaw® System II, Left Atrial Appendage Closure Device
Date:1/19/2012

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Terumo Cardiovascular Systems announced today that it has entered into an exclusive agreement with LAAx, Inc. to distribute the TigerPaw® System II, a left atrial appendage closure device in the U.S.

The TigerPaw System II is indicated for occlusion of the left atrial appendage under direct visualization, in conjunction with other open cardiac procedures.  It is new to the market following successful completion of a clinical trial.  During its clinical trial the TigerPaw System II provided 100% occlusion at both post-op and at 90 days.

Mark Sutter, President and CEO of Terumo Cardiovascular Systems, stated, "This expansion of our product portfolio is another example of Terumo CVS's commitment to the CV OR market.  The distribution agreement provides us with an excellent product that provides advantages over other offerings on the market and that cardiac surgeons need today.  We are proud of this new partnership with LAAx, Inc."

Bill Wheeler, President and CEO of LAAx, Inc., added, "Terumo's broad distribution network will be a tremendous asset.  We will work together to get the TigerPaw System II into the hands of cardiac surgeons who have not yet had access to a clinically proven, 100% occlusive left atrial appendage (LAA) closure device. This clinical outcome expectation will benefit patients who need to reduce the medical risks associated with a less than 100% closure of the LAA.  We are happy to offer that option. Risk mitigation is an important consideration for every cardiac surgeon who considers 100% occlusion to be the only acceptable medical outcome for LAA occlusion technologies."
