NIMHANS launches endovascular innovation lab, unveils indigenous stroke device prototype ‘PARICHAY’
NIMHANS has launched an Endovascular Research and Innovation laboratory and unveiled 'PARICHAY', an indigenous mechanical thrombectomy device for stroke treatment. The initiative aims to reduce India's reliance on imported medical technology and improve access to advanced stroke care.
Why it matters
Developing indigenous medical devices is a strategic move to lower healthcare costs and foster self-reliance in critical neurovascular interventions.
Marking a significant step towards developing home-grown neurovascular technologies, the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) last week launched India’s first dedicated Endovascular Research and Innovation (EVRI) laboratory. The alpha prototype of an indigenous mechanical thrombectomy device for acute stroke intervention was also unveiled on the occasion.
The report is a straightforward account of a scientific and institutional development.
