SMT secures classification in Italy’s CONSIP tender for Hydra TAVI devices

Sahajanand Medical Technologies (SMT) has announced its classification in the Italian national CONSIP two-year tender for the supply of its Hydra Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) devices to hospitals across Italy. This development is a key step in SMT’s ongoing efforts to advance patient care through innovative medical technologies.

The Hydra TAVI device, known for its deliverability, radial strength, and supra-annular valve positioning, is now accessible for procurement by all National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in Italy. This classification allows Italian healthcare providers to utilise advanced solutions for treating aortic stenosis, aimed at improving patient outcomes and operational efficiencies.

Commenting on this achievement, Gaurav Goel, Global Head of the Structural Heart Division at SMT, said, “We are thrilled to be recognised in the CONSIP tender, which underscores the quality and effectiveness of our Hydra TAVI technology. This opportunity allows us to partner with healthcare providers across Italy to deliver life-saving solutions and enhance the standard of care for patients with aortic stenosis. SMT remains committed to innovation and excellence in the field of structural heart disease.”

Gennaro Broya de Lucia, Distributor Manager Europe for SMT, added, “Being classified in the CONSIP tender is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire team. Eukon, our national Italian SMT importer, has been instrumental in this achievement. This collaboration will undoubtedly contribute to meeting the procurement needs of the NHS, ensuring that Italian hospitals are well-equipped with the latest in medical technology.”

 The value-based procurement approach of the NHS emphasises cost-efficiency and high-quality patient care, aligning perfectly with SMT’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge medical solutions at competitive prices. This tender not only reinforces SMT’s position as a leader in the medical technology sector but also highlights the importance of providing healthcare professionals with the best tools to address critical health challenges.
