Pressure Products Inc

In 1988, two practicing physician cardiologists formed a medical device company, Pressure Products. Faced with the clinical problem of post-catheterization secondary hemostasis, Dr. Paul Kurth, an invasive cardiologist with significant experience in cardiac catheterization invented a unique pressure bandage, the HOLD device. This Hemostatic Occlusive Leverage Device (HOLD) was tested, deemed effective, and brought to the medical community.

Along with his partner, Dr. Bruce Goldreyer, a clinical electrophysiologist and inventor, a series of successful medical devices followed. These include ClampEase, designed to assist with primary hemostasis and complement the HOLD device; SafeSheath, the first hemostatic introducer for pacemaker and defibrillator lead placement; and Pocket Pal and Programmer Helper to assist in the management of patients with implanted pacemakers and ICDs.

With the advent of cardiac resynchronization therapy, devices for lead delivery to left ventricular epicardial locations were required. In the late 1990's, Pressure Products introduced SafeSheath CSG coronary sinus guides.

With the vast clinical expertise of Dr. Seth Worley, a uniquely shaped splittable, hemostatic CSG was developed. The addition of a soft-tipped braided guide resulted in a superbly versatile clinical tool for Biventricular pacemaker lead placement.

Adjunctive products for pacemaker and defibrillator lead positioning continue to be developed, along with sheaths for ablative procedures requiring transeptal or annular catheter delivery.
