ABOUT US
Basecamp Vascular is a French MedTech company
developing BCV Systems®, active mechatronic technologies designed for endovascular navigation.
Rethinking endovascular navigation through mechatronics
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.

ENDOVASCULAR
ACTIVE NAVIGATION
SMART HANDLE FOR ENDOVASCULAR NAVIGATION
A unique smart handle with electronic control of shape-memory actuation of the guidewires for management of tortuous vessels.
TIP ACTUATION
The local actuation on tip, with specific curves, engineered with Shape Memory Alloys actuators has the potential to make procedures fast, safe and robotically controlled.
COMPATIBILITY
This is compatible with all the leading catheter solutions used in endovascular treatments.
SPECIFIC DESIGN
Compatible with existing treatment catheters and image-guided platforms, this guidewire system is also compatible with Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Data in a patient-oriented specific design.
SCALE UP
Potential application in any procedure requiring guidewire access to a target treatment site, including cardiovascular, urological, gynecological, oncological procedures.
I-NOV 2022 LAUREATE
Our project “Active guidewires for endovascular access and navigation” is one of the 14 laureates of the I-Nov Innovation contest (2022) and is financed by France 2030 and by the European Union – Next Generation EU – 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.
