Regulatory Submission Status
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Product | JensClip Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr) System |
| Company | Jenscare Scientific Co., Ltd. (9877.HK) |
| EU Regulatory Path | CE mark application submitted |
| China Regulatory Path | Registration application submitted and accepted |
| Indication | Severe mitral regurgitation |
| Key Markets | European Union, China |
Device Innovation & Technical Features
JensClip incorporates several proprietary design elements aimed at improving procedural safety and ease of use:
| Feature | Description | Clinical Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Claw‑Wedge Mechanical Locking | Secure fixation at any angle | Stable leaflet coaptation, reduced tension |
| Diamond‑Shaped Valve Clip | Facilitates retrieval and repositioning | Enhanced procedural safety, operator flexibility |
| Integrated Release Mechanism | Single‑step detachment process | Shortens operation time, reduces procedural risk |
| Global Patent Protection | Innovative design patent‑protected | Market exclusivity, competitive moat |
The device is designed to effectively mitigate mitral regurgitation through reliable leaflet capture while minimizing the learning curve for interventional cardiologists.
Market Opportunity & Disease Burden
Mitral Regurgitation (MR) Prevalence:
- EU: ~4.5 million patients with moderate‑to‑severe MR; ~500,000 new severe cases annually
- China: ~8 million patients; diagnosis rate <15%
- Treatment Gap: Only 2‑3% of eligible patients receive transcatheter repair due to limited device availability and physician training
TMVr Market Projections:
- EU Market Size: €1.2 billion (2025), growing at 12% CAGR
- China Market Size: ¥3.5 billion (2025), projected to reach ¥12 billion by 2030
- JensClip Revenue Potential: Peak sales of ¥800 million‑1.2 billion (EU + China) by 2032, assuming 8‑12% market share
Competitive Landscape
| Device | Company | Regulatory Status | Key Features | Market Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MitraClip | Abbott | CE/FDA/NMPA approved | Gold standard; established data | Dominant (>80% share) |
| Pascal | Edwards Lifesciences | CE/FDA approved | Independent leaflet capture | Emerging competitor |
| JensClip | Jenscare Scientific | CE pending, China under review | Enhanced retrieval, integrated release | First domestic TMVr (China) |
| ValveClamp | Pulse Medical | China approved | Clip‑based; limited data | Early‑stage domestic |
Strategic Advantage: JensClip’s patented diamond‑shaped design and integrated release differentiate it from first‑generation devices, potentially reducing procedure time by 15‑20% compared to MitraClip.
Regulatory Pathway & Commercial Strategy
EU Timeline:
- CE Submission: Dec 2025
- Notified Body Review: 12‑18 months (expected approval Q2 2027)
- Market Entry: H2 2027 via specialty distributor network
China Timeline:
- NMPA Submission: Accepted Q4 2025
- Innovative Device Pathway: Potential for priority review (12‑15 months)
- Domestic Preference: Eligible for Volume‑Based Procurement (VBP) and DRG reimbursement incentives
Manufacturing: Jenscare’s Suzhou facility (capacity: 5,000 units/year) expected to achieve CE certification by Q1 2027, enabling parallel EU/China supply.
