Competitive Landscape
ReCor competes in the renal denervation space primarily against radiofrequency-based RDN systems from large medtech players like Medtronic (Symplicity Spyral) and Abbott (formerly St. Jude Medical). Competition also includes intense pharmacological R&D for hypertension and the entrenched standard of care, which is drug therapy. ReCor differentiates with its ultrasound-based, circumferential energy delivery platform.
