Cutting Balloon Ultra2 Over-the-Wire Platform

Description:The Cutting Balloon Ultra device consists of a non-compliant balloon with 3 or 4 atherotomes (microsurgical blades) mounted longitudinally on its outer surface. When the Cutting Balloon Ultra device is inflated, the atherotomes score the plaque, creating initiation sites for plaque propagation. This process, referred to as Atherotomy, allows dilatation of the target lesion with less pressure....
