Facilitate trapping of OTW devices with Guidion Short!1Enable trapping techniques of OTW devices in combination with a guide extension catheter.1 Its 15 cm distal shaft is designed to optimize trans-radial approach.1
BIOTRONIK today announces the launch of the latest innovations in guide extension catheters: FlowGuide and Guidion Short. These new devices have been developed to offer enhanced support and to facilitate the delivery of devices during complex vascular interventions. The catheters introduce key elements, such as perfusion holes in the distal shaft of the FlowGuide catheter, and a transradial access and trapping friendly design for both new products. Through our collaboration with IMDS, the FlowGuide and Guidion Short catheters expand BIOTRONIK's portfolio of high-performance devices dedicated to complex PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) such as the TrapIT, NHancer Rx, and ReCross. Developed and manufactured by IMDS (Interventional Medical Device Solutions), they are distributed by BIOTRONIK in selected countries. The nine circumferential perfusion holes* in the distal shaft of the FlowGuide catheter are designed to maintain optimal blood flow to distal vessels and side branches1, thereby reducing t
Coronary guide extension catheters are used in conjunction with guiding catheters to access discrete regions of the coronary vasculature and to facilitate placement and exchange of guide wires and other interventional devices.
Reduce the risk of pressure damping and procedure induced ischemia1. FlowGuide has 9 circumferential perfusion holes to maintain blood flow* to distal vessel and side branches. Its 15 cm distal shaft is designed to optimize trans-radial approach.1
BIOTRONIK, a global leader in cardiovascular, endovascular, and neuromodulation solutions, is pleased to announce today the approval of two new indications for the Orsiro® Mission Drug-Eluting Stent (DES): One-month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) for High Bleeding Risk (HBR) Patients: Allows practitioners to offer personalized, shorter DAPT durations to their patients at high risk of bleeding events, in accordance with the most recent guidelines. Calcified Lesions Treatment: Allows practitioners to target more complex lesions with moderate or severe calcification. These new indications complement the recent global regulatory approval of the Orsiro® Mission DES for an increased maximum allowed diameter (MAD) post-dilation (Ø2.25-3.0 mm, MAD: 4.0 mm, Ø3.5-4.0 mm, MAD: 5.0 mm). Following these approvals, labelling including adapted Instructions for Use will become effective in the coming months, pending further national regulatory approvals. Please refer to the Instruc
BIOTRONIK has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation (BDD) from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Freesolve™ below-the-knee resorbable magnesium scaffold (BTK RMS). The Freesolve BTK RMS is designed for individuals suffering from chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). CLTI is the most severe form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), estimated to affect 11% of the 200 million people suffering from PAD globally. CLTI is associated with high rates of amputation and mortality as well as high care costs.1 To qualify for a Breakthrough Device Designation, a device technology must address an unmet need and show that it has the potential to provide for more effective treatment of life-threatening diseases or irreversibly debilitating conditions. The goal of the program is to provide patients and clinicians with timely access to these breakthrough treatments by accelerating their development, assessment and review while maintaining regulatory standards for pre-market approval
