Gardia Medical's proprietary Deliver, Lock and Deploy (DLD) technology enables in-situ locking of cardiovascular devices such as EPD's onto a standard guide wire anywhere along the wire. Its modular approach provides a unique and elegant solution for the interventional cardiologist.

Gardia's technology allows the clinician to use his/her guide wire of choice without affecting the standard procedure workflow. Easy deliverability facilitates successful passage through the lesion site. Gardia's advanced mechanical locking mechanism and stand-alone filter are delivered via a delivery catheter, and can be positioned in any location along the vessel without compromising wire performance. The mechanism is remotely activated from the proximal end, locking and deploying the stand-alone filter onto the guide wire, creating an in-situ embolic protection unit.

Gardia's DLD technology promises to set a new standard of care for the cardiovascular intervention field.

Proprietary DLD technology:
· Simple and familiar operation
· Easily integrates with standard workflow
· Free choice of guide wire
· Complete control over position in the vessel
· Rapid exchange delivery system
