Utilization
‘Crack’ highly calcified lesions
Post Dilatation
Minimal longitudinal growth is key to avoid dilating outside the stented area
Increasingly important in era of DES for reducing likelihood of:
- Mal-apposed stent struts
- Edge effect restenosis
Specifications
Durable material
Nylon 12
Nominal Pressure(NP)
10-12 atm
Rated Burst Pressure(RBP)
18-20 atm
Balloon Diameter
- 2mm-4.5mm
Balloon Lenght
6mm-29mm
Balloon Fold
3- fold memory
Radial Force: Balloon Compliance
- Non-compliant balloons grow and conform
less as pressure is increased
- Little change in volume with incremental
increases in pressure. More force is exerted against a lesion at a given inflation pressure than SC balloons, including stent delivery Balloons
