  • Título: BIOTRONIK announces new product additions to create a broader, stronger PTA balloon portfolio
  • Fecha: 02-10-2013
  • BUELACH, Switzerland, October 2, 2013 – BIOTRONIK announced today
    the launch of the Passeo-35 0.035” OTW PTA balloon Line Extension and
    the Passeo-35 HP high pressure PTA (percutaneous transluminal
    angioplasty) balloon. The Passeo-35 0.035” OTW PTA balloon is now also
    available in lengths of up to 200mm and the Passeo-35 HP high pressure
    PTA balloon is designed for arterio-venous dialysis fistulea application.

    Passeo-35 0.035” PTA balloon

    Passeo-35 is part of BIOTRONIK’s leading lower limb portfolio. The
    availability of balloon lengths of up to 200mm in diameters 3-7mm offers
    physicians the potential to dilate longer disease segments in lower limb
    vessels with fewer balloon inflations, which may reduce potential
    barotrauma caused by multiple inflations and may shorten procedure
    times. In addition, Passeo-35 has an extremely low profile, with a
    measurement of 7mm x 200mm allowing for balloon compatibility with a
    5F introducer sheath, and an excellent secondary profile. The addition of
    long balloon lengths also creates outstanding synergy with BIOTRONIK´s
    Pulsar-35 self-expanding stent.

    Passeo-35 HP 0.035” High Pressure PTA balloon

    The Passeo-35 HP 0.035” High Pressure PTA balloon is designed to treat
    vessel segments that require high pressure dilatation to efface resistant,
    often fibrotic stenoses.

    Fibrotic stenoses are commonly encountered in Arterio-Venous (AV)
    access fistulae and grafts. Existing PTA balloon treatment options can
    have compromised flexibility or a bulky profile, or display instability at
    higher pressures. Passeo-35 HP is designed to deliver high-rated burst
    pressures of up to 27 atmospheres with uncompromised balloon
    flexibility. This results from the use of a conformable yet highly durable
    balloon material, minimizing the risk of vessel straightening but with the
    strength to dilate resistant lesions. Passeo-35 HP is available in diameters
    from 3-12mm and in balloon lengths from 20-100mm.
