Corindus Vascular Robotics (Corindus, Inc.) was founded in 2002 by Rafael Beyar, an interventional cardiologist and Tal Wenderow. Dr. Beyar was joined by Tal Wenderow to create the first prototype with the idea to use remote control and robotics to move coronary guidewires and balloon/stent catheters.[1][2]

Corindus, Inc. is based in Waltham, Massachusetts. The company’s FDA cleared CorPath® System is the first medical device that allows interventional cardiologists to manipulate guidewires and balloon/stents from an interventional cockpit.[3]

The company went public in August 2014 and currently trades on the NYSE MKT with the ticker symbol: CVRS.
