The D-KuttingTm LL Peripheral Scoring Balloon Dilatation Catheter is indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature, including the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. This catheter is not for use in the coronary vasculature.

Device Description

The Peripheral Scoring Balloon Dilatation Catheter is an over the wire (OTW) catheter. It features a non-compliant balloon with 3 scoring elements mounted longitudinally on its outer surface. The scoring element is attached on the surface of balloon by adhesive. The scoring elements were tightly circled by a nitinol wire and the cross section of the scoring element is a triangular. The length of the scoring element is according to effective length of balloon. The catheter has two radiopaque marker bands, which fluoroscopically indicates the expanded part of the balloon and aid in the placement of the balloon and scoring element and to facilitate proper placement. The two radiopaque marker bands are located on the inner-lumen which is underneath the balloon. The catheter includes a tapered tip to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the inflation site. A lubricious coating is applied at from the distal tip to shaft tubing to enhance insertion and withdrawal performance. The inner lumen in the shaft tubing and ends in a Y-connector manifold hub with 2 Luer lock fittings. The straight manifold port is used to pass the catheter over the suitable guidewire. The second side port communicates with the balloon and is used to inflate and deflate the balloon during the procedure. The diameter and length of the balloon and the diameter of the compatible guide wire are printed on the hub. The balloon is folded an inserted in a PTFE casing to protect the balloon and scoring element. The Peripheral Scoring Balloon Dilatation Catheter is offered in balloon diameters ranging from 2.5mm-7.0mm and lengths are from 20mm to 150mm. The catheter length is 90cm, 135cm and 150cm and is compatible with 0.014″ or 0.018″ guide wires accordingly.
