The mission of InfraReDx, Inc. is to develop novel, photonic-based medical devices that will help improve the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. The first initiative of InfraReDx is to develop a device that can identify lipid-rich coronary artery plaques – the structures suspected to be the cause of most heart attacks, the leading cause of death in the developed world. Identification of the vulnerable plaques that cause coronary artery events would lead to great benefits since many potential treatments already exist.«Less

| Description: | Much of the activity of InfraReDx has been devoted to overcoming the challenges of performing NIR spectroscopy in the human coronary where problems of access, penetration of blood, motion, and the need to scan must be overcome. Fortunately, major advances in lasers and optical devices developed primarily for the telecommunications industry have made it possible to overcome these challenges. The InfraReDx system consists of a laser light source, an automated pullback and rotation device and a small fiberoptic catheter. While the catheter is similar in size and ease of use to an intravascular ultrasound catheter, the information it provides is quite different since it is based on an optical rather that an ultrasonic signal. |
