What Catheter Precision does

Catheter Precision, Inc. (NYSE American: VTAK) is a US-domiciled, publicly traded medical device company that develops and markets products for cardiac electrophysiology procedures. The company's core medical products are VIVO, a non-invasive 3D cardiac imaging system that uses proprietary inverse-solution algorithms applied to 12-lead ECG and CT/MRI inputs to localize ventricular arrhythmias pre-procedure (with 99.5% accuracy and 27% shorter procedure times in clinical data), and LockeT, a suture retention device for vascular access site closure that achieves 98% hemostasis at 2 hours in clinical studies and enables same-day discharge for catheter sizes up to 27F. Both products hold FDA clearance, and LockeT additionally carries the CE Mark for European sale. The company sells primarily to hospitals and electrophysiology labs through direct sales teams and regional distributors such as FuMedica AG in Switzerland, with named customers including Mater Private Hospital (Ireland), Spitalzentrum Biel (Switzerland), and five South African hospitals.

In March 2026 Catheter Precision completed the acquisition of the remaining 80.02% of Fly Flyte, Inc., giving it 100% ownership of Flyte, an AI-enabled regional air mobility operator running Cirrus Vision Jets under FAA Part 135 certification through subsidiary Ponderosa Air, LLC. Flyte operates short-haul routes along the US East Coast (Maine to Florida following the March 2026 Florida expansion) and has joined the Vaunt operator network to monetize repositioning flights. Revenue streams consist of hardware sales of VIVO and LockeT devices, royalty income from the February 2026 divestiture of atherectomy catheter technologies (1.5%-3% of net sales for ten years plus a 5% equity stake in the acquirer), and aviation charter revenue, with Q1 2026 consolidated revenue of $432,000 (up 200% year-over-year) and a Q1 2026 net loss of $1.7M (improved from $4.0M a year earlier).

The company is undergoing a strategic pivot: in April 2026 management announced it is actively seeking a buyer for the cardiac electrophysiology business in order to focus on the Flyte aviation platform, while concurrently strengthening the balance sheet via up to $36.5M of strategic institutional financing (February 2026), expanding the IP portfolio with 11 newly allowed patents (June 2026), and taking a 7.5% strategic stake in Volato Group, Inc. to align with the Parslee / Volato AI aviation software ecosystem. Catheter Precision is led by founder-CEO David Jenkins (former CEO of EP MedSystems and Arrhythmia Research Technology) and CFO Phil Anderson, and is headquartered in Fort Mill, South Carolina, with an EU authorized representative in Münster, Germany.

Core offering

Catheter Precision develops, manufactures, and markets medical devices for cardiac electrophysiology procedures, including the VIVO non-invasive 3D cardiac imaging system for pre-procedure arrhythmia localization and the LockeT suture retention device for vascular closure after catheter procedures. Through its wholly owned Flyte subsidiary, the company also operates AI-enabled regional air mobility services using Cirrus Vision Jets on East Coast short-haul routes.

Product overview

Catheter Precision operates as a dual-engine growth platform combining clinically validated medical devices with technology-enabled aviation infrastructure. The medical device segment centers on two FDA-cleared/CE Marked products: VIVO, a non-invasive 3D cardiac imaging system using proprietary algorithms for pre-procedure arrhythmia localization, and LockeT, a suture retention device for access site closure enabling same-day discharge. The company also operates Flyte, a regional air mobility subsidiary utilizing Cirrus Vision Jets, which was fully acquired in March 2026. The portfolio spans electrophysiology procedures, cardiac imaging, and private aviation services, supported by a library of over 50 patents.
