Minimally invasive bronchitis therapy gets CE marking
November 15, 2019Gala Therapeutics announced that its RheOx system has received CE mark in the European Union.
In a minimally invasive procedure called bronchial rheoplasty, RheOx delivers non-thermal energy to the airways to reduce mucous-producing cells in patients with chronic bronchitis.
RheOx is a bronchoscopic system designed to reduce mucous-producing cells in patients with chronic bronchitis. The revolutionary technology includes an electrosurgical generator and a single-use catheter that together deliver non-thermal energy to the airways to reduce the number of abnormal mucous-producing cells in the lungs, making way for new normal
cells to redevelop.
Gala plans to launch a post-market study at key European respiratory centres of excellence.
