As new devices and technologies are being developed in the medtech industry, doctors and physicians have to learn about the devices on platforms that are different from what they know. One way to help make the healthcare provider’s transition into using new devices easier is to forge a partnership between the industry and the physician, according to Laura Dietch, CEO of BioTrace Medical (Menlo Park, Calif.).

BioTrace Medical is a medical device company that makes temporary pacing leads to improve patient outcomes while also reducing hospital costs. The company’s Tempo Lead uses an active fixation mechanism, bipolar electrodes and a soft tip to create secure and stable cardiac pacing and reduce complications following cardiovascular procedures.

“We are pleased that the growing adoption of the Tempo Lead is resulting in an increasing body of evidence that continues to validate the Lead’s safety and effectiveness, both intra- and post-procedure, as well as its contribution to reducing costs,” said Dietch. “The Tempo Lead is already migrating throughout the hospital wherever safe, stable, temporary pacing is needed.”
