Name:	Mercator MicroSyringe Infusion Catheter™
Product URL:	http://www.mercatormed.com/product1.html
Description:	Enabling Therapeutic Development for a Wide Range of Diseases The Mercator MicroSyringe Infusion Catheter™ is the first catheter-guided system designed to inject — directly and non-systemically — therapeutic agents safely through blood vessel walls into deep tissues. With this enabling technology, novel therapies can be developed and delivered site-specifically nearly anywhere in the body. These therapies may include treatments for plaque stabilization in diseased vessels, anti-tumor drugs, growth factors to stimulate cell division, and stem cellclick to zoom transplantation and gene therapies. Delivering drugs through the blood vessel wall into the perivascular space and adventitia allows for direct, highly controllable and concentrated treatment, minimizing the toxicity of systemic administration, while avoiding the “washing away” of drug into the bloodstream. This can reduce drug side effects, increase therapeutic effectiveness, potentially decrease the cost of medical treatment and improve patient quality of life.
