Medtronic Rolls Out Advanced Micra AV2, VR2 Pacemakers in India

These new innovations also allow easier implantation and support smartphone-based remote monitoring for better care.

Medtronic, a global leader in medical technology, has launched Micra AV2 and VR2, the world’s smallest leadless pacemakers, in India.

The newly launched pacemakers are claimed to last ling as they do not require a chest incision, helping to avoid potential complications from traditional pacemakers with leads.

The new Micra AV2 and VR2 pacemakers offer longer battery life, 15.6 and 16.7 years respectively, so over 80% of patients may only need one device in their lifetime.

These new innovations also allow easier implantation and support smartphone-based remote monitoring for better care.

Chandrashekhar Jaiman, Director Cardiovascular at Medtronic India said, “At Medtronic, our mission is to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. With the launch of the Micra AV2 and VR2 in India, we are proud to advance that mission by redefining what’s possible in cardiac care.”

“These next-generation leadless pacemakers represent a significant leap forward, combining miniaturization with intelligent pacing technology to deliver a superior experience for both patients and clinicians. This innovation is especially meaningful in India, where the growing burden of cardiovascular disease calls for scalable, accessible, and clinically advanced solutions,” Chandrashekhar added.
