Fortrex™ HP PTA balloon catheter

for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty

  • Fortrex PTA balloon catheter

Overview

The Fortrex HP PTA balloon catheter is a dual-lumen catheter with a balloon that is bonded onto the distal tip. The Fortrex balloon catheter balances push and track to deliver high pressure, targeted treatment to challenging lesions. The balloon design is optimized for shape retention and peak performance at the rated burst pressure.1

Indications

The Fortrex HP PTA balloon catheter is indicated for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. This device is also indicated for stent post-dilatation in native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.

Product details

Deliverability

  • Low tip entry profile enables tight tracking to the wire.
  • Robust, flexible shaft design facilitates successful navigation in tortuous vessels.

Predictability

  • Balloon material and design allow for shape retention at rated burst pressure.
  • Focal pressure is exerted on the lesion for controlled, targeted treatment.

Procedural efficiency

  • Balloon material and wall thickness permit reliable balloon rewrap into the sheath.
  • Rapid deflation time1 contributes to reduced occlusion time.
