ABOUT US
Electroducer is a startup founded in 2018, its mission is to design, develop and market medical device to simplify and secure percutaneous cardiovascular interventions.
The company is based in Grenoble, a French Alps dynamic pole in the Medtech industry.
History of the company
It all started in 2011 with the experience of Dr Benjamin FAURIE, Interventional cardiologist at the Cardiovascular Institute of Grenoble, who during the first Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) interventions made the painful observation of a high number of fatal complications.
Complications not related to the prosthesis itself but rather to the accessories or the techniques for implanting them, for example the need to use a temporary pacing catheter to stun the heart or revive it during valve implantations. He then wanted to change that and thus created the technique of direct cardiac stimulation through the TAVR guidewire: the Direct Wire Pacing (DWP) technique which avoids the use of pacing catheter insertion and their complications.
Our vision
Electroducer aims to reach beyond boundaries to increase efficiency solutions to every patient in a minimally invasive and safe spirit. Electroducer develops a universal and users’-based strategy to offer solutions that will become a new standard for all interventional cardiac procedures requiring temporary pacing and be the market leader in this field.
Our mission
Electroducer mission is to improve current surgical treatments helping many patients as possible, particularly reducing complications during percutaneous cardiovascular interventions.
The company ambition is to develop medical devices integrating the minimalist approach to optimize percutaneous valve implantations (aortic) and complex coronary interventions allowing:
– Shortening procedures
– Reduction of radiation exposure
– Cost reduction
– Easy to operate for healthcare professionals
– More effective, more reliable and less invasive procedures
– Reduction of complication and convalescence time
Electroducer activities are guided by the challenging economic and regulatory context and by the founder’s vision focused on the patient and are supported by partnerships with internationally renowned experts, hospitals and industrial partners.

The quality at Electroducer
01. Quality policy
We, at ELECTRODUCER Company, are committed to providing innovative, safe, high patient-value surgical solutions to optimize and enhance safety of percutaneous cardiovascular interventions. This will be accomplished through selection of high-quality suppliers to ensure the production of compliant products.
We maintain a constant focus on developing the Electroducer’s team potential and knowledge, ensuring the adequate renewal of competencies. Our team is composed by healthcare professionals in direct contact with the final customers and by employees with experience in the medical device field.
Our Quality system exists to deliver innovative products that meet customer and regulatory requirements, making these minimalist intervention solutions accessible to a wide number of patients.
This quality policy addresses quality in its most original sense, namely the degree of fulfillment of a product’s characteristic which meets the medical needs.
With our technology we are engaged:
- For the patient (person requiring interventional procedures): to reduce pain, to reduce the complications and invasive nature of the procedures, to reduce the exposure to x-rays, to reduce the duration of the intervention and the hospitalization time.
- For the users (interventional cardiologist, cardiac and vascular surgeons, nurses, radiological technicians): to reduce the occupational health risks related to x-rays exposure and lead apron wearing, to reduce the intervention duration and simply make it easier.
- For the customers (health system/ health institutions): to reduce costs associated to the percutaneous cardiovascular interventions and to improve patient workflow and hospitalization duration.
Focused on the minimalist interventions, we intend to be one of the market leaders of this field.
02. Quality Management System of Electroducer
ISO 13485 Certificate
The Quality Management System of Electroducer was certified in January 2021.
What is ISO 13485 ?
ISO 13485 is the internationally recognized quality management systems standard for the medical device industry. ISO 13485 helps manufacturers of medical device to design quality management systems that establish and maintain the effectiveness of their processes. It ensures consistent design, development, production, installation and delivery of medical devices that are safe for their intended use.
