ABOUT US
Basecamp Vascular is a MedTech company developing BCV Systems® a new generation of active mechatronic technologies for endovascular navigation
Our approach combines engineering and clinical expertise to develop active guidewires designed to support controlled navigation through complex vascular anatomies during minimally invasive procedures.
Founded in 2016, Basecamp Vascular originated from research conducted at ISIR – the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics (Sorbonne University, CNRS, INSERM) – and works in close collaboration with leading clinical partners, including Fondation Rothschild Hospital.
From technology development to clinical integration and industrialisation, our work is focused on translating mechatronic innovation into solutions designed for endovascular practice.
BCV Systems® is a registered trademark of Basecamp Vascular.

ACTIVE
ENDOVASCULAR NAVIGATION
SMART HANDLE
An intuitive electronic handle puts active guidewire deflection under physician control during endovascular procedures.
ACTIVE TIP DEFLECTION
Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuators enable on-demand deflection of the guidewire tip to navigate complex vascular anatomies.
CATHETER COMPATIBILITY
Compatible with a range of existing endovascular catheters, the technology integrates into established interventional workflows.
ROBOTICS-READY DESIGN
A mechatronic approach developed with future robotic-assisted procedures in mind, while keeping navigation under physician control.
SCALE UP
Potential application in any procedure requiring guidewire access to a target treatment site, including cardiovascular, urological, gynecological, oncological procedures.
DOUBLE FRANCE 2030 AWARDEE
Basecamp Vascular has been selected twice under the France 2030 investment plan, through the i-Nov Innovation Competition (2022) and the Première Usine programme.
These two distinctions support the development and industrialisation of BCV Systems® active mechatronic guidewire technology.
The i-Nov project is also funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU – as part of the France Relance plan.
SPIN-OFF
Our actuable mechatronic guidewire was developed with help from the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR) at Sorbonne University – CNRS – INSERM & the Rothschild Foundation Hospital.
