Metacross® RX- PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter

Better handling by design^1

Essential improvements in efficiency and control with Rapid Exchange^1
* Enables fast, convenient exchange of devices^1
* Supports the use of short guidewires^2
* Encourages procedural efficiency, reducing potentially fluoroscopy time^3 and radiation time^2
* Optimizes control allowing a single operator to perform the procedure^2

End-to-end^4 performance with less effort^4

Better pushability results demonstrated with innovative catheter design^4
* Engineered for maximizing pushability with a well-designed shaft and stiff tapered core wire
* Effective transition of force from proximal to distal end for efficient lesion crossing
