Volcano Therapeutics

Volcano was a U.S. cardiovascular medical device company focused on catheter-based imaging and measurement tools used in interventional cardiology and peripheral vascular procedures. Its core product portfolio included intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) systems, imaging catheters, and functional measurement guidewires used to assess coronary and peripheral vessels during minimally invasive procedures. The company was publicly traded as Volcano Corporation before being acquired by Royal Philips in February 2015. Following the acquisition, the business was integrated into Philips' image-guided therapy operations and the legal entity has since operated under Philips Image Guided Therapy Corporation. The business is healthcare-related, commercial-stage, and centered on devices rather than therapeutics in the drug-development sense.
