About REVA
REVA is a development stage medical device company located in San Diego, California, USA, that is focused on the development, testing, and eventual commercialization of its proprietary bioresorbable stents, which are called "scaffolds" because of their temporary nature. The Company's scaffolds are being developed as an alternative to metal stents, which are small tube-like devices permanently implanted into an artery to treat coronary artery disease. Scaffolds provide restoration of blood flow, support the artery through the healing process, then disappear (or "resorb") from the body over a period of time. This resorption allows the return of natural movement and function of the artery, a result not attainable with permanent metal stents. The Company has conducted clinical studies of its scaffold technologies; a total of 112 patients were enrolled in its most recent clinical trial in Australia, Brazil, Europe, and New Zealand, with enrollment completed during January 2014. The patients in this trial will be followed for a total of five years, with primary data to be obtained at nine and 12 months. The Company is now developing and testing its FantomTM scaffold, with initial human implants planned for late 2014 at multiple centers in Brazil and Europe. The Fantom scaffold has been designed to offer distinct ease-of-use features including complete scaffold visibility under x-ray, expansion with one continuous inflation, no procedural time limitations, and standard storage and handling. REVA will require successful clinical results and regulatory approval before it can commercialize Fantom or any of its other products.
