NSE PTA™
PTA Scoring Balloon Catheter
Novel Scientific Engineering
- For effective plaque modification and adequate expansion in peripheral arteries and AV fistula (de novo and restenotic lesions).
- Provides an efficacious scoring effect when used for predilatation.
Features
Low entry profile and flexible tip
- Facilitate lesion entry and guidewire tracking
- Provide for high trackability even in tortuous vessels [1]
Flexible free floating elements
- Improve deliverability even in complex lesions
- Allow for smooth dilatation without edge stress
Triangular shaped elements
- Stabilize the balloon in the lesion during inflation [1]
- Provide an efficacious scoring effect due to high concentrated force transmission [2]
