arterial

The Phoenix atherectomy system combines the benefits of existing atherectomy systems to deliver a unique, hybrid atherectomy option to help physicians tailor the treatment approach for each patient.¹ It cuts, captures, and clears diseased tissue with one insertion. Phoenix treats a broad range of tissue types, from soft plaque to calcified arteries, and can be used for lesions above and below the knee. Front cutter Front cutter clears tissue in a way that may help reduce potential trauma to the vessel.³ Capture and clearance Continuous capture and passive clearance of debulked material into the catheter resulted in a <1% rate of symptomatic distal emboli in the EASE trial.⁴ Ease of use Phoenix is battery-powered and handle-operated. No capital equipment or additional procedural accessories are required. Deliverability Low-profile, front-cutting design allows for direct lesion access without having to first pass a nosecone. The over-the-wire design aids in trackability and pushability of catheter.Versatility EASE trial data confirms the ability of Phoenix to effectively treat a broad range of tissue types, from soft plaque to calcified arteries, for lesions both above and below the knee.³,⁴ The 1.8 and 2.2 mm tracking catheters are suitable for treating small vessels or highly stenosed lesions. The 2.4 mm deflecting catheter is suitable for larger vessels or eccentric lesions.
