Why choose R2VTM

Advantages for Patients and Healthcare Professionals

A safer, more comfortable approach to visceral procedures

R2VTM (Radial to Visceral) is a surgical technique that shifts access for abdominal procedures from the femoral to the radial artery. This approach reduces the risk of hemorrhagic complications for patients and facilitates early mobility post-operation, enhancing patient recovery and comfort. R2VTM also contributes to improving operational efficiency in medical settings, enabling healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality medical care.
