The Amethyst HP PTA OTW 0.035" Catheter is indicated for:

• Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature including iliac, femoral, popliteal, tibial, peroneal, subclavian, renal arteries and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
• Post-dilatation of balloon expandable and self-expanding stents in the peripheral vasculature.

The Amethyst HP PTA OTW 0.035" catheter is a balloon catheter consisting of an over the wire catheter with a non-compliant inflatable balloon fixed at the distal end of the tip. The balloons are designed to provide consistent balloon diameters and lengths at high pressures. A tapered tip positioned at distal of the balloon facilitates the advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis. A Luer lock fitting (Y hub) at the proximal end allows connection with an inflation device. The catheter is a co-axial catheter with a balloon at the distal tip. One lumen is used for the inflation of the balloon and is accessed via the lateral port of the Y hub. The second lumen, start at the straight entry port of the Y hub, allows access to the distal tip of the catheter for guide wire insertion. The balloon has two radiopaque markers to aid in positioning the balloon relative to stenosis. The balloon is dilated using the lateral port, at which the balloon opens to a known diameter at a specific pressure. The maximum recommended guide wire diameter is 0.035''. The catheter is supplied sterile and is intended for single use.
