Remote Ischemic Conditioning: The Commercial Market? CellAegis Perspective

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is at a pivotal point in its evolution, both in terms of its adoption as a therapy and its viability commercially. The most usual way of inducing RIC, with a standard blood pressure cuff and a stopwatch, is time-consuming and potentially inaccurate and unsafe. Development of automated devices have facilitated large-scale randomized trials and will make clinical deployment of the technique more straightforward. Both the medical and commercial future of RIC will depend on the results of upcoming phase 3 pivotal trials.
