Opsens Files To Become a New Player in the Fractional Flow Reserve Market

Moving from the macro to the micro: that's the pathway taken by Quebec-based Opsens, Inc., known for its fiber optic pressure and temperature sensing technology in the oil fields. The company has miniaturized its technology and applied it to FFR wires that can be threaded into the coronary arteries to help determine whether or not a blockage needs to be opened with a stent. The company has filed with the FDA for 510(k) pre-market notification, recently achieved approval in Japan and is currently sponsoring the O2 Pilot Study.
