Balloon Dilatation Catheters: Powerline™ Take the Fast Track to Superior Patient Outcomes The advanced catheter technology of Powerline™ is designed to offer the right balance of PUSH, TRACK and CROSS to ensure optimal balloon placement and expansion: MultiPleat™ Folding Technology The MultiPleat™ folding technology is designed to facilitate the treatment of multiple lesions as the machine folding provides a more consistent rewrap of the balloon. This fully automated mechanism offers exceptional lesion crossability and uniform balloon expansion, as well as improved re-cross properties that may facilitate complex procedures and reduce procedural time. Pre-dilatation – can facilitate procedural success to optimize DES patient outcomes Drug-eluting stents (DES) have defined a new era in the successful treatment of coronary artery disease. However, like any therapy, DES results are not always what are predicted or expected. Stent placement alone however does not guarantee the best outcome. Unless the stent is optimally deployed with full lesion coverage, full expansion and good apposition to the vessel wall, there remains a risk of complications such as late stent thrombosis*. Pre-dilatation can optimize stent deployment to achieve the full benefits of DES therapy, especially where it is vital to ensure positive stent apposition and uniform absorption of drug within the treated lesion.
