The ENROUTE Enflate™ Transcarotid RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter is intended for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and post-dilatation of self-expanding stents in the carotid arteries.

The Silk Road Medical ENROUTE Enflate™ Transcarotid RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a standard rapid exchange (RX) 0.014" Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) catheter with a proximal single lumen and distal coaxial lumen tubing with a dilatation balloon, and an atraumatic, tapered tip. The proximal luer lock hub allows for connection with a balloon inflation device for inflation with diluted contrast medium. The second lumen in the distal shaft permits the use of an 0.014" guidewire to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. The balloon has two radiopaque marker bands to aid in positioning the balloon in the stenosis, located either 25 or 35 mm apart as indicated on the package label. An external position marker is located 32.5 cm from the distal tip to indicate the relative position of the catheter tip to the guiding catheter/introducer sheath. The total working length of the catheter is 75 cm. The Silk Road Medical ENROUTE Enflate Transcarotid RX Balloon Dilatation Catheter will complement the TCAR procedure.

The ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System (ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS) is intended to provide transcarotid vascular access, introduction of diagnosic agents and therapeutic devices, and embolic protection during carotid artery angioplasty and stenting procedures for patients diagnosed with carotid artery stenosis and who have appropriate anatomy described below: Adequate femoral venous access; Common carotid artery reference diameter of at least 6 mm; Carotid bifurcation is a minimum of 5 cm above the clavicle as measured by duplex Doppler ultrasound (DUS) or computerized axial tomography (CT) angiography or magnetic resonance (MR) angiography.

Silk Road Medical, Inc. is the manufacturer of a single use device intended to provide embolic protection during carotid artery angioplasty and stenting procedures. The ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is designed to transport emboli away from the carotid artery circulation by reversing blood flow at the treatment site prior to crossing a lesion in the carotid artery and during lesion manipulation. It has an integrated filter used to capture and contain embolic material liberated during the procedure. Like the predicate device, the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS consists of three primary components: the ENROUTE Transcarotid Arterial Sheath, the ENROUTE Venous Return Sheath, and the ENROUTE Flow Controller. The Subject Device offers an Angled-Tip configuration and a Straight Tip configuration of the Transcarotid Arterial Sheath. When assembled, the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS creates an Arteriovenous Shunt. The Transcarotid Arterial Sheath is placed in the carotid artery below the carotid bifurcation. The Venous Return Sheath is placed into the femoral vein. The Arterial and Venous Sheaths are connected by the Flow Controller, thereby completing the Arteriovenous Shunt. When the carotid artery is occluded just proximal to the Transcarotid Arterial Sheath insertion site, the arterial/venous pressure gradient diverts or reverses blood flow in the internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery (ECA) thereby directing the blood from the cerebral arteries through the Transcarotid Arterial Sheath, through the Flow Controller with integrated filter, and out through the Venous Return Sheath into the venous circulation. The ENROUTE Transcarotid Arterial Sheath and ENROUTE Venous Return Sheath are constructed of stainless steel reinforced thermoplastic elastomers attached to hemostasis valve adaptors. The Angled-Tip Transcarotid Arterial Sheath configuration has a 15° bend at the distal tip whereas the Straight-Tip Transcarotid Arterial Sheath configuration has no bend at the distal tip. The ENROUTE Flow Controller consists of DEHP free PVC tubing with an integrated polyester filter and polycarbonate housing. A 90cm long 0.035" PTFE coated Nitinol with stainless steel coil J-Tip Guidewire is provided with the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS. The quidewire is used to facilitate the insertion of the Transcarotid Arterial Sheath into the common carotid artery (CCA) and the Venous Return Sheath into the femoral vein. The ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is an ethylene oxide sterilized, non-pyrogenic, singleuse prescription device.
