Why to use it

Designed specifically to address complex lesions found in infrainguinal arteries, the AngioSculpt  PTA scoring balloon catheter offers 360˚ of precise and effective dilatation. AngioSculpt delivers a unique combination of controlled, effective dilatation and predictable device safety.

Characteristics

Precision: Edges lock in for minimal slippage

Rectangular scoring edges lock the device in place.  No significant device slippage or “watermelon seeding” means less risk of damage to healthy tissue

 

Power: ~15 – 25x scoring force

The leading edges are designed to drive outward expansion with up to ~ 25 times the force of a conventional balloon.  AngioSculpt’s helical nitinol element creates a uniform initial luminal enlargement

 

Safety: ~1x force post scoring for low dissection rate

Post scoring, outward forces are designed to be equivalent to that of a conventional balloon.  Low dissection rate and minimal perforations.  Low rate of adjunctive stenting.  Zero (0) flow-limiting dissections.
