Innovation based on experience leads to novel and safe medical devices.

emka medical was founded by Dr. Raymond Glocker in 2011 to manifest his vision of a truely stable and continuous invasive blood pressure measurement for monitoring of heart failure. Having already worked since 1990 on similiar projects he knew from experience what was lacking in the available technology. For this reason emka medical developed the first closed fluid filled catheter.

Our mission

We want to give patients with cardiopulmonary diseases the best possible hemodynamic monitoring during their treatment. We believe true optimization of medication or device based therapy can only be achieved by getting direct and continuous feedback of the therapy on core parameters like pressure inside the heart.

We believe data driven therapy is the only way to achieve best possible treatment of the patients. At the same time we want to keep quality of life high by reducing restrictions like tubings and cables to enable as much mobility as possible. That is why we have developed CorLog.
