◊Compared to equivalent available sizes of Passeo®-14 and Passeo®-18 PTA balloons
The Oscar Support Catheter allows variable guide wire support for accessing and crossing lesions to reduce the need for guide wire escalation or multiple support catheters.
The unique solution allows in-vessel adjustments of the balloon length from 20 to 180 mm, designed to dilate various lesion lengths or focal residual stenosis with the same balloon.
