Ep 294 - Reeve Stoffer Explains Why a Reset Might Have Been the Best Thing for Recor Medical and Renal Denervation

In this episode of the DeviceTalks Weekly Podcast, Host Tom Salemi visits his MedTech happy place — renal denervation — with Recor Medical COO Helen Reeve Stoffer.

Reeve Stoffer joined the company shortly before the bottom fell out of the renal denervation market in 2014. This interview picks up from that point and follows Recor's pursuit of FDA approval to where denervation technology may be applied next.

This week’s FOMO features a portion of a keynote interview with Manny Villafaña, MedTech legend and CEO of Medical 21. The conversation took place at DeviceTalks Minnesota and focuses on the dream that saved St. Jude Medical.

Skyler Rivera, associate editor of MassDevice, gives us a preview of her upcoming feature in Medical Design & Outsourcing magazine on the race to provide telesurgery capabilities to surgical robotic systems.
