A recent IPO and already added to the Russell 2000 and 3000 Index:
Hansen Medical, Inc. engages in the development and manufacture of medical robotics for positioning, manipulation, and stable control of catheters and catheter-based technologies. Its Sensei Robotic Catheter (Sensei) system allows physicians to instinctively navigate catheters in interventional procedures. The company’s Sensei system principally consists of two portable modules, a physician control console and a patient-side module that can be connected to procedure tables. Its Sensei system is used in advanced robotics to enable physicians to vary the force at the working tip of these devices in various procedures. The company’s Sensei system and its corresponding disposable Artisan Control Catheter would enable physicians to perform procedures with existing catheters and catheter-based technologies. Hansen Medical was founded in 2002 under the name AutoCath, Inc. and changed its name to Hansen Medical, Inc. in 2003. The company is headquartered in Mountain View, Ca. |
