Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Background and Basis of Presentation	1. Background : REVA Medical, Inc. (“REVA” or the “Company”) was incorporated in California in 1998 under the name MD3, Inc. In March 2002, we changed our name to REVA Medical, Inc. In October 2010, we reincorporated in Delaware. We established a non-operating wholly owned subsidiary, REVA Germany GmbH, in 2007. In these notes the terms “us,” “we,” or “our” refer to REVA and our consolidated subsidiary unless context dictates otherwise. We do not yet have a product available for sale; our product(s) will become available following completion of required clinical studies with acceptable data and when, and if, we receive regulatory approval. We are currently in the clinical testing phase of a drug-eluting bioresorbable stent to treat vascular disease in humans. This stent, which we have named Fantom ® Fantom In December 2010 we completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of our common stock in Australia and registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, consequently, became an SEC filer. Our stock is traded in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”); each share of our common stock is equivalent to ten CDIs. Our trading symbol is “RVA.AX.” Under an agreement with the current holders of our convertible notes, we intend to pursue listing of our common stock on NASDAQ, or another exchange approved by our noteholders, during 2016, with the intention to be accepted for listing no later than June 30, 2017. Basis of Presentation : We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for reporting of interim financial information and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and with the audited financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2015. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of REVA and our wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances, if any, have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual financial statements and, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any other interim period. Liquidity : We have experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since our inception and, as of March 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $375,938,000. While we anticipate initiating commercial operations by mid-2017, until we generate revenue, and at a level to support our cost structure, we expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses and net cash outflows. We had cash of $22,073,000 at March 31, 2016, which reflects the receipt of $11,407,000 in cash proceeds from warrant exercises on February 12, 2016. Based on our current operating plans and projections, we believe this cash balance will be sufficient to fund our operating and capital needs through the first fiscal quarter of 2017. Although we currently have no set financing plans, until we can sustain positive cash flows from our operations, we intend to fund our future needs by raising additional capital through equity or debt issuances. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our operations and planned capital expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets. 1. (continued) Liquidity (continued) : Even if we do attain revenue, we may never become profitable and even if we do attain profitable operations, we may not be able to sustain that profitability or positive cash flows on a recurring basis. These conditions, combined with the uncertainty of the timing of receipt of future financings, if any, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Use of Estimates : In order to prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our most significant estimates relate to, or have related to, the fair value of our convertible notes payable, the fair value of our warrant liability, our operating expense accruals, including clinical study expenses, and our stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	2. We measure the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at each reporting date in accordance with the fair value hierarchy according to GAAP, which requires that f air value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1 – Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date; Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or non-active markets, or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of an asset or liability; and, Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of an asset or liability, including management’s best estimate of the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability at the measurement date. We carry our convertible notes payable and, until February 12, 2016 when the warrants were exercised in full, our common stock warrant liability at fair value. We carry our other financial instruments at amortized cost, which we consider to be reasonable estimates of their respective fair values due to their short-term nature and, therefore, fair value information is not provided in the following table; these other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Utilizing the lowest level inputs available under the measurement hierarchy, the fair values of our measured financial instruments are as follows: Level 3 (in thousands) Fair Value at December 31, 2015: Liabilities: Convertible notes payable $ 75,365 Common stock warrant liability 19,622 $ 94,987 Fair Value at March 31, 2016: Liabilities: Convertible notes payable $ 99,172 Common stock warrant liability — $ 99,172 We had no Level 1 or Level 2 financial instruments through March 31, 2016. 2. Fair Value Measurements Our Level 3 financial liabilities, which are recurring, consist of convertible notes payable (the “Notes”) and, until they were exercised in full, warrants for the purchase of common stock, all of which were issued in November 2014. The fair values of the Notes were determined utilizing a least squares Monte Carlo simulation model and valuation of the warrants was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model. Both models require use of unobservable inputs that are determined by management, with the assistance of independent experts. These inputs represent our best estimates, but involve certain inherent uncertainties. We used the market value of the underlying stock, a life equal to the contractual life of the financial instrument, incremental borrowing rates and bond yields that correspond to instruments of similar credit worthiness and the instrument’s remaining life, an estimate of volatility based on the historical prices of our trading securities, and we made assumptions as to our abilities to test and commercialize our product(s), to obtain future financings when and if needed, and to comply with the terms and conditions of our Notes. A summary of the assumptions used to value the Notes and warrants is as follows: March 31, March 31, 2015 2016 Market price per share of common stock $4.34 $8.45 Risk-free interest rate 1.8% 1.9% Expected volatility of common stock 86.4% 74.5% Expected life – years 4.63 3.64 Bond yield of equivalent securities 28.8% 27.0% A significant change in the market price per share, expected volatility, or bond yield of equivalent securities, in isolation, would result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. In combination, changes in these inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement if the input changes were to be aligned, or could result in a minimally higher or lower fair value measurement if the input changes were of a compensating nature. A total of $18,101,000 and $32,764,000 in unrealized losses arising from the change in fair value on our Level 3 financial liabilities were recorded during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Our Level 3 fair value activity through March 31, 2016 is as follows: Level 3 (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 94,987 Losses from Change in Fair Value: Convertible notes payable 23,807 Common stock warrant liability 8,957 Transfer to additional paid-in capital upon exercise of warrants (28,579 ) Balance at March 31, 2016 $ 99,172

Convertible Notes Payable And Warrants To Purchase Common Stock Disclosure [Abstract]
Convertible Notes Payable and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock	3. Convertible Notes Payable and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock In November 2014, we issued 250 convertible notes payable, each with a face value of $100,000, for total cash proceeds of $25,000,000. The Notes are convertible into 11,506,155 shares of common stock, which is a conversion rate of $2.17275 per share. The Notes are convertible at any time at the holders’ election; the Notes automatically convert in the case where we have received CE Mark approval of our Fantom 3. Convertible Notes Payable and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (continued) Following an analysis of the embedded and derivative features of the Notes upon their issuance in 2014, and a projection of the volatility of their effective interest rates under the cost method, we made an irrevocable election to utilize fair value accounting for the Notes. Management believed the fair value method of accounting would provide a more appropriate presentation of these liabilities than would be provided under the cost method. The fair values of the Notes as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 was calculated to be $50,365,000 and $74,172,000, respectively, higher than the unpaid principal balance of the Notes of $25,000,000. The increases of $12,210,000 and $23,807,000 in the fair value of the Notes during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, were recorded as losses in the consolidated statement of operations. In connection with the issuance of the Notes in November 2014, we issued warrants to the noteholders to purchase up to 8,750,000 shares of common stock. In October 2015, a total of 4,375,000 warrants were exercised for $9,506,000 cash proceeds and on February 12, 2016 the remaining 4,375,000 warrants were exercised for $11,407,000 cash proceeds. The fair value of the warrants on the February 12, 2016 exercise date was calculated to be $28,579,000. The increases of $5,891,000 and $8,957,000 in fair value of the warrant liability during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the period from December 31, 2015 to February 12, 2016, respectively, were recorded as losses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	5. We have reported tax net operating losses since our inception through March 31, 2016; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded since our inception. The net operating tax loss carryforwards arising from our net losses may be available to offset future taxable income for income tax purposes; however, under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Sections 382 and 383, use of the net operating tax loss carryforwards, as well as our research tax credit carryforwards, may be limited based on cumulative changes in ownership. We have established a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of those assets and we, therefore, have no deferred asset or liability balance for any reporting period. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the deferred tax assets and, when it is determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced. Due to our valuation allowance, future changes in our unrecognized tax benefits will not impact our effective tax rate.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	6. The Plan : Our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options for purchase of our common stock at a price per share equal to the closing market price on the date of grant and for awards of restricted stock units and restricted stock for no consideration payable by the recipient. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan may be increased annually by up to three percent of the outstanding stock of the Company and on January 1, 2016, an additional 550,000 shares were reserved for issuance under the Plan. An aggregate of 8,430,945 shares are reserved for issuance under the Plan as of March 31, 2016. All stock issuances under the Plan are made with new shares from our authorized but unissued common stock. The term of grants and awards under the Plan may not exceed ten years. Employees, non-employee directors, and consultants are eligible to participate in the Plan. For purposes of determining stock-based compensation expense, we include non-employee directors with employees; we account for consultant compensation expense separately. Option activity under the Plan is as follows: Weighted Average Options Exercise Outstanding Price Balance at December 31, 2014 4,243,425 $7.01 Granted 2,152,500 $4.50 Cancelled (232,292 ) $2.85 Exercised (251,208 ) $2.27 Balance at December 31, 2015 5,912,425 $6.46 Granted 487,500 $8.18 Exercised (5,000 ) $1.80 Balance at March 31, 2016 6,394,925 $6.60 Vesting periods of stock and unit awards and option grants are determined by the Company’s board of directors. The majority of options granted by the Company vest over four years, with 25 percent vesting on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date and 75 percent vesting in equal monthly installments thereafter. A majority of those options are exercisable at any time but, if exercised, are subject to a lapsing right of repurchase by us at the exercise price until fully vested. During March 2015, we granted a total of 316,000 options that vest based on certain performance milestones of the Company. We estimated the vesting term for each performance objective on the date of grant, and on each reporting date thereafter, based on our internal timelines and operating projections. Our estimates of vesting ranged from approximately nine to 30 months, with a weighted average vesting term of 11.0 months remaining as of March 31, 2016. A total of 30 percent of these options had vested through March 31, 2016 and none had been cancelled. During July 2012, January 2013, and May 2013 we awarded 33,000 shares, 40,000 shares, and 47,500 shares, respectively, of restricted stock; 25 percent of each award vests on each annual anniversary date of the award. Through March 31, 2016, none of the restricted stock had been cancelled. During March 2015, we awarded 824,200 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees. These RSUs vest based on certain performance milestones of the Company. We estimated the vesting term for each performance objective on the award date, and on each reporting date thereafter, based on our internal timelines and operating projections. Our estimates of vesting ranged from approximately 21 to 30 months, with a weighted average vesting term of 11.2 months remaining as of March 31, 2016. None of these RSUs had vested or been cancelled as of March 31, 2016. During May 2015, we awarded 160,000 RSUs to employee and non-employee directors; such RSUs vest on May 24, 2016. Each RSU entitles the recipient to one share of our common stock upon vesting. Through March 31, 2016, none of these RSUs had vested and none had been cancelled. No tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation have been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss through March 31, 2016. 6. (continued) Grants and Awards to Employees : We account for option grants, restricted stock awards, and RSU awards to employees based on their estimated fair values on the date of grant or award, with the resulting stock-based compensation recorded over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. For the options and RSUs that vest upon performance milestones, we estimate the probability that the performance milestones will be met and record the related stock-based compensation expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, we determined that two of the three performance targets for our performance-based awards were probable of being achieved and, therefore, recorded expense for those awards only. Stock-based compensation arising from employee options and awards under the Plan is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 2016 (in thousands) Employee Stock-Based Compensation: Research and development expense $ 295 $ 364 General and administrative expense 232 791 $ 527 $ 1,155 The fair value of restricted stock and RSU awards is equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of award. The fair value of options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the following weighted- average assumptions: Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 2016 Risk-free interest rate 1.7% 1.6% Expected volatility of common stock 56.4% 58.4% Expected life in years 5.71 6.25 Dividend yield 0% 0% The assumed risk-free interest rate was based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. The assumed volatility was calculated based on the historical market prices of a selected group of publicly traded companies considered to be our peers; we use peer group data due to the fact that we have limited historical trading data but adjusted the 2016 volatility upward by approximately three percent to allow us to move toward using our trading history, which is more volatile than our peer group. For options that vest based on passage of time, the expected option life was calculated using the simplified method under the accounting standard for stock compensation and a ten-year option expiration; we use the simplified method because we do not yet have adequate history as a public company to establish a reasonable expected life. For options that vest based on performance achievements, the expected life was calculated based on the requisite service periods estimated by management and a ten-year option expiration. The expected dividend yield of zero reflects that we have not paid cash dividends since inception and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The options granted to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2016 had a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.55. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016 was $135,000 and $34,000, respectively. 6. (continued) Stock Options to Consultants : We account for stock options granted to consultants at their fair value. Under this method, the fair value is estimated at each reporting date during the vesting period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The resulting stock-based compensation expense, or income if the fair value declines in a reporting period, is recorded over the consultant’s service period. Fully vested options to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock were granted to consultants during the three months ended March 31, 2016; no options were granted to consultants during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Stock-based compensation expense arising from consultant options granted under the Plan is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 2016 (in thousands) Consultant Stock-Based Compensation: Research and development expense $ 1 $ 40 General and administrative expense 27 — $ 28 $ 40 The fair value of the options granted to consultants during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was estimated to be $5.30 per share based on weighted-average assumptions of a risk-free interest rate of 2.02 percent, volatility of 57.4 percent, an option life of ten years, and a dividend yield of zero percent. The assumed risk-free interest rate was based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. The assumed volatility was calculated from the historical market prices of a selected group of publicly traded companies considered to be our peers; we use peer group data due to the fact that we have limited historical trading data. The expected option life is the remaining term of the option. The expected dividend yield of zero reflects that we have not paid cash dividends since inception and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. There were no unvested consultant options at either March 31, 2015 or March 31, 2016.

Additionally, in the event we sublicense the technology and receive certain milestone payments, the licenses require that up to 40 percent of the milestone amount be paid to the licensors. Additional terms of the technology licenses include annual licensing payments of $175,000 until the underlying technology has been commercialized. Terms of the licenses also include other payments to occur during commercialization that could total $950,000, payment of $350,000 upon a change in control of ownership, payments of up to $300,000 annually to extend filing periods related to certain technology, and payment of patent filing, maintenance, and defense fees. The license terms remain in effect until the last patent expires.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Loss Per Common Share	8. Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method, as applicable. For purpose of this calculation, common stock options and restricted stock subject to forfeiture are considered to be common stock equivalents; common share equivalents are included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share only when their effect is dilutive. The following weighted average shares were excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share because including them would have been antidilutive.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation : We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for reporting of interim financial information and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and with the audited financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2015. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of REVA and our wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances, if any, have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual financial statements and, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any other interim period.
Liquidity	Liquidity : We have experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since our inception and, as of March 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $375,938,000. While we anticipate initiating commercial operations by mid-2017, until we generate revenue, and at a level to support our cost structure, we expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses and net cash outflows. We had cash of $22,073,000 at March 31, 2016, which reflects the receipt of $11,407,000 in cash proceeds from warrant exercises on February 12, 2016. Based on our current operating plans and projections, we believe this cash balance will be sufficient to fund our operating and capital needs through the first fiscal quarter of 2017. Although we currently have no set financing plans, until we can sustain positive cash flows from our operations, we intend to fund our future needs by raising additional capital through equity or debt issuances. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our operations and planned capital expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets. 1. (continued) Liquidity (continued) : Even if we do attain revenue, we may never become profitable and even if we do attain profitable operations, we may not be able to sustain that profitability or positive cash flows on a recurring basis. These conditions, combined with the uncertainty of the timing of receipt of future financings, if any, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates : In order to prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our most significant estimates relate to, or have related to, the fair value of our convertible notes payable, the fair value of our warrant liability, our operating expense accruals, including clinical study expenses, and our stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
