About Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc.

Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. is a global technology leader in robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). The company's CorPath System is the first FDA-cleared medical device to bring robotic-assisted precision to PCI procedures. During the procedure, the interventional cardiologist sits at a radiation-shielded cockpit to advance stents and guidewires with millimeter-by-millimeter precision. The cockpit allows the physician greater control and the freedom from wearing heavy lead protective equipment that causes musculoskeletal injuries. With the CorPath System, Corindus Vascular Robotics brings robotic precision to radial and complex PCI procedures to help optimize clinical outcomes and minimize the costs associated with complications of improper stent placement with manual PCI procedures. Corindus stands behind its product with its unique $1,000 hospital credit "One Stent Program." For additional information, visit www.corindus.com, and follow @CorindusInc.
