Fortrex™ HP PTA balloon catheter
for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty
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
