Peijia Medical focuses on the high-growth interventional procedural medical device market in China and is a leading domestic player in both the transcatheter valve sector and the neurointerventional procedural medical device sector in China.
For the heart valve market, Peijia is in the process of completing the confirmatory clinical trial for TaurusOne®, the company’s first-generation transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) product. Compared to the traditional surgical aortic valve replacement or SAVR, TAVR is more cost effective. Peijia expects to receive the NMPA approval for TaurusOne® and launch the product in the first or second quarter of 2021. Peijia Medical is also developing its second- and third generation TAVR products incorporating innovative features. Peijia’s product pipeline includes transcatheter devices for aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves.
In the field of neurointerventional procedural medical devices, Peijia Medical is the only fully integrated company based in China that develops, manufactures, and commercializes a comprehensive portfolio of products and product candidates. Peijia was the first domestic player to commercialize embolization coil product in China.
