Pacemaker-Like Implant Cleared in Europe to Lower Blood Pressure

Orchestra BioMed, a company out of New Hope, Pennsylvania, won the European CE Mark of approval for the Moderato implantable pulse generator which delivers Orchestra’s unique BackBeat Cardiac Neuromodulation Therapy (CNT) to treat hypertension. High blood pressure is typically treated using drugs, but BackBeat allows even existing cardiac implants to deliver therapy in a novel way by modulating the bioelectronic signals associated with blood pressure control.
