The Angioslide PROTEUS™ Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Balloon Catheter with Embolic Capture Feature is indicated for peripheral transluminal angioplasty and for capture and removal of embolic material (e.g. debris, thrombus) during angioplasty, for the femoral, iliac, ilio-femoral, popliteal, tibial, peroneal, and profunda arteries. The Angioslide PROTEUS™ PTA Balloon Catheter with Embolic Capture is not intended for use in the renal, cerebral, coronary or carotid vasculature.

The Angioslide PROTEUSTM Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Balloon Catheter with Embolic Capture Feature is an over the wire dual lumen catheter with a foldable balloon (5) located near the distal atraumatic soft tip (9). One lumen is used for inflation of the balloon and is accessed via the inflation port (2). The other lumen, starting at the guidewire port (10), allows access to the distal tip for guidewire insertion (max. 0.035"). The balloon has two radiopaque markers (8) for positioning the balloon relative to stenosis. The radiopaque markers indicate the dilating section of the balloon and help in balloon placement. The balloon is designed to provide an inflatable segment of known diameter and length at specified pressure. The shaft (4) comprises the outer shaft (6) and the inner shaft (7). The distal end of the balloon (A) is connected to the inner shaft and the proximal end of the balloon (B) is connected to the outer shaft. The inner shaft is connected to the proximal hub (10) which is connected to the pulling knob (1) and the outer shaft is connected to the handle grip (3). The pulling knob lock (11) locks the handle grip and the pulling knob together. The distal end of the balloon is folded inwards towards the proximal end of the balloon, by pressing on pulling knob lock (11) and pulling the pulling knob away from the handle (1). The inward-folding of the balloon forms a cavity and allows for collection and removal of embolic material.
