Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Echopoint Medical is a London-based medical technology company spun out of University College London. It develops the iKOr microcatheter system, a diagnostic device intended to give interventional cardiologists a complete picture of coronary physiology during catheterisation procedures. The system is designed to measure coronary flow reserve (CFR), the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), diastolic flow indices, and continuous relative flow and resistance data, producing a full physiological profile within minutes.

The product is positioned for use in existing cath lab workflows: it uses a rapid-exchange microcatheter design compatible with a workhorse guidewire, allowing sequential readings before and after interventions without exchanging guidewires, and is presented as requiring minimal training. The company frames the clinical need around conditions such as ANOCA (angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries), where distinguishing microvascular dysfunction from coronary spasm requires more complete physiological data, and around the underdiagnosis of cardiovascular disease in women.

External profiling describes the company as a medical device and medical imaging business applying fibre-optic sensing technology to cardiovascular devices for minimally invasive procedures, selling hardware on a B2B basis.
