Wex℞ Rapide is a rapid exchange pre-dilation PTCA catheter that creates new treatment options for difficult and challenging coronary lesions. Designed specifically for the most calcified of vessels it features state-of-the-art technology.Lower Profile for ease of access A low profile balloon and distal shaft WexRx Rapide uses the lowest profile hypotube on the market which permits the kissing balloon technique to be performed through a 6F introducer Excellent rewrap characteristics retain the low profile even after multiple inflations Superior Tracking for excellent navigation in tortuous vessels A soft tip allows WexRx to track easily A flexible distal shaft prevents locking friction further improving trackability Enhanced Push to reach and cross difficult lesions The special shaft construction allows more push to be transmitted to the ballon tip without any buckling from the shaft Graded Stiffness Transition between the proximal and distal shaft elements eliminates sudden buckling onset which allows greater push forces to reach the distal tip while at the same time maintaining flexibility Superior Balloon Durability and Safety QuadFlex balloon material is highly burst resistant and abrasion resistant, permitting confident treatment of even the most highly calcified materials The QuadFlex balloon does not “dogbone” which prevents injury to the vessel wall outside the treatment segment
