TOP Medical is pleased to share a newsflash of two of its business partners, Covidien and Maya Medical.

Covidien, a leading global provider of healthcare products, acquired Maya Medical and will unveil its new OneShot™ renal denervation system at the Euro PCR congress in Paris. Adding to the Company’s broad and growing vascular therapies portfolio, the OneShot system is designed to treat patients with hypertension who are not responsive to traditional medical therapy.

Millions of people worldwide are impacted from complications of prolonged, uncontrolled high blood pressure.

The OneShot technology received CE mark clearance in February 2012.
