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.” (ObusNeich)

Focused Force Angioplasty for the Treatment of Peripheral Arterial Stenosis.

Catheter for excellent deliverability

• Continuous hub-to-tip metallic construction for enhanced pushability, with acombination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings to minimize friction

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

Improved Crossability

• Hydro-X hydrophilic coating adds lubricity to reduce friction to enhance crossability

Improved Trackability

• Invio hydrophobic coating is a water-repellent and minimizes guidewire friction
