The acquisition allows Translumina to utilise Blue Medical’s patented drug application technology in its other product lines in neurovascular and peripheral interventions and drug coating recipes.

The technology avoids any drug loss during the device advancement to the lesion, helping to deliver a high drug concentration at the targeted site.

Wellinq CEO Sander Hartman said: “We are convinced that Blue Medical’s next-generation DCB catheters have a tremendous market opportunity with the global sales and marketing network of Wellinq’s long-term partner Translumina.”

Blue Medical has developed Protégé NC and Protégé SC DCB catheters to better overcome current DCB technologies limitations, as well as provide high safety and efficacy.
