SoundBite™ Crossing System - Peripheral is indicated to facilitate the intra-luminal placement of conventional guidewires or treatment devices beyond peripheral artery chronic total occlusions. The SoundBite™ Crossing System -Peripheral is not intended for use in the carotid arteries.

The SoundBite™ Crossing System - Peripheral is a recanalization tool, designed to help physicians place conventional guidewires or treatment devices in the intraluminal space beyond chronic total occlusions in the peripheral vasculature. The SoundBite™ Crossing System - Peripheral consists of the reusable mobile SoundBite™ Console, the single-use sterile SoundBite™ Active Wire 18, and their accessories. The SoundBite™ Console generates controlled mechanical pulses (i.e., shock waves) which are transmitted to the SoundBite™ Active Wire 18 and cause the distal tip of the wire to accelerate axially in a reciprocating motion, acting like a micro-jackhammer. The SoundBite™ Active Wire 18 is similar in construction to other commercially available CTO crossing wires, with friction reducing PTFE coating (except for the distal tip), a radiopaque marker near the tip, and enhanced flexibility at the distal end. It has an outer diameter of 0.46 mm (0.018") and it is 300 cm long, with a working length of 150 cm; the proximal end flares up to a larger diameter for connection to the console. The single-use SoundBite™ Active Wire 18 is supplied sterile with a shelf life of 24 months.
