Founded in 1984, Spectranetics manufactures and sells the only excimer
laser approved in the United States, Europe and Japan for use in minimally
invasive cardiovascular procedures. This technology treats complex
cardiovascular conditions by photo-ablating multiple lesion types into tiny
particles that are easily absorbed into the blood stream. The Company's
disposable catheters use high-energy "cool" ultraviolet light to vaporize
arterial blockages in the legs and heart, as well as scar tissue
encapsulating pacing and defibrillation leads. For more information, visit
