Cormedics Corporation
is a life sciences company focused on developing
novel technologies that selectively treat the entire
heart with drug, cell, gene, and device therapies by
introducing them into the pericardial space.
The Intrapericardial Opportunity
The pericardial sac surrounds and encloses the heart
-- it is the ideal location to deliver therapies to
the entire heart, from the "outside-in." Traditional
drug delivery methods all mix medications with the
circulatory system to treat the heart from the
"inside-out," but they can also have a toxic effect
on other organs. Cormedics has developed a targeted
heart therapy to treat just the heart, which has
been endorsed by some of the key players in
cardiovascular medicine.
