- The Micra TPS is the first-ever leadless pacemaker; its first version (the Micra VR) was approved in Japan in 2017 for patients who only require single-chamber pacing.
- The Micra TPS received CE Mark in April 2015 and the FDA approval in 2016. Comparable in size to a large vitamin, Micra is less than one-tenth the size of traditional pacemakers.
- The device is attached to the heart with small tines during the implant procedure and delivers electrical impulses.
- Unlike traditional pacemakers, Micra does not require leads or a surgical "pocket" under the skin, so potential sources of complications related to leads and pockets are reduced, and there is no visible sign of the device.
- Price Action: MDT shares are up 0.01% at $105.62 during the premarket session on the last check Tuesday.
