Scoreflex PTA
Scoreflex PTA is a focused force dilatation balloon with a dual-wire system which creates a focal stress pattern to facilitate safe and controlled plaque modification at lower resolution pressure.
Detail
Scoreflex PTA is a focused force dilatation balloon with a dual-wire system which creates a focal stress pattern to facilitate safe and controlled plaque modification at lower resolution pressure.
1. Advance a standard guidewire across the target lesion.
2. Advance Scoreflex PTA over the guidewire and cross the target lesion.
3. Inflate the Scoreflex PTA balloon in a stepwise fashion.
4. Withdraw the deflated Scoreflex PTA once the desired result is achieved.
Scoreflex PTA construction
TIP
A short rapid exchange tip with the guidewire exit port proximal to the tip
WIRE
A nitinol integral wire, welded from tip to hypotube, serving as one of the scoring elements
MARKERS
Two radiopaque markers on the integral wire aligned to the balloon shoulders
The guidewire exits proximal to the tip and acts as the second scoring element
Catheter for excellent deliverability
Continuous hub-to-tip metallic construction for enhanced pushability, with a
combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings to minimize friction
Hydro-X hydrophilic coating adds lubricity to reduce friction to enhance crossability
IMPROVES CROSSABILITY
Invio hydrophobic coating is a water-repellent and minimizes guidewire friction
IMPROVES TRACKABILITY
