BridgePoint Medical receives European approval for devicesNovember 23, 2009 1:04 PM ETMitch Anderson BridgePoint Medical Inc. announced Monday that it has received approval to sell and use its new catheter devices in Europe. The Plymouth-based medical-technology company earned the European CE Mark, the European equivalent of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) seal of approval, to market its CrossBoss CTO Crossing Catheter and the Stingray CTO Re-Entry System. A recent medical trial showed the products resulted in a greater success rate in allowing doctors to access heavily diseased arteries than the standard guidewires that are now in use. The BridgePoint devices are under clinical investigation in the United States and have yet to receive FDA approval. Copyright 2009 bizjournals.com
