XO Cath Microcatheter Construction Resists Ovalization Under bending loads, like a tortuous vessel, the circular cross-section of a catheter may ovalize, reducing the ID diameter. This may inhibit the delivery of embolic agents, including coils and plugs. The construction of XO Cath was designed to resist ovalization in tortuous vasculature to maintain a lumen to deliver a full range of embolic agents including coils and plugs. In fact, XO Cath ovalizes 4.3 times less than the leading competitive microcatheter. #XOCath #interventionalradiology #interventionaloncology #embolization

Vessel Twisting With Competitive Specialty Balloons Specialty scoring PTA and PTCA balloons with wrapped wires may cause the vessel to twist and elongate upon inflation, increasing the risk of vessel damage. XO CS enables focused and concentric force without balloon elongation or twisting, reducing the risk of uncontrolled vessel damage.

XO Score LP Demonstrates Consistent Longitudinal Cracking Recent benchtop calcium cracking model to demonstrate break characteristics of XO Score Low Profile. XO Score was preloaded with an off-the-shelf 4x40mm PTA balloon, tracked through a calcium model and inflated to nominal pressure. XO Score demonstrated consistent longitudinal cracking of the length of the lesion model as well as concentric fracturing throughout the entire ”depth” of the lesion model. XO Score Low Profile technology facilitates low-pressure, controlled, and concentric treatment of both calcific and fibrous lesions. The device is preloaded with the PTA balloon of the physician’s choice before insertion into the patient and then tracked to the lesion site for treatment. #XOScore #PAD #CLI #crackcalcium

Superior Torque Response with Novel Microcatheter Bench testing shows impressive 1:1 torque response of the XO Cath Microcatheter. The laser-cut hypotube construction of XO Cath is designed to deliver new levels of trackability, torque response, imaging quality, and embolic compatibility for improved treatment delivery. #XOCath #interventionalradiology #interventionaloncology #embolization

XO RX Compatible with Over 3,450 Off-the-shelf PTA & PTCA Balloons XO Score is available in 3 rapid exchange configurations. These three devices are compatible with thousands of off-the-shelf PTA and PTCA balloons allowing for low inventory requirements with broad treatment options. XO Score RX Angioplasty Platform is a patented rapid exchange vessel prep and treatment system that fits over a broad range of standard off-the-shelf PTA and PTCA balloons. - Crack calcific lesions and dilate fibrous stenoses - Treat resistant lesions at low pressure without energy delivery - Minimize vessel elongation and twisting to lower the risk of damage - Compatible with 1.5-7mm diameter & 20-200mm length balloons #xoscore #PAD #CLI #CrackCalcium

Unintended Vessel Movement Among Competitive Specialty Balloons Competitive specialty PTA balloons may cause the vessel to twist and elongate upon inflation, increasing the risk of vessel damage. XO Constrain enables focused and concentric force without balloon elongation or twisting, reducing the risk of uncontrolled vessel damage.

New Levels of Flexibility in Vessel Prep Lesions in tortuous vasculature are challenging to navigate and treat. Loose wires of existing angioplasty scoring devices bend independently of the balloon, inhibiting effective scoring. The metal rotostruts of XO Score remain in place, even in tortuous bends, offering uniform, concentric scoring and preventing straightening of the vessel. XO Score is a first-of-its-kind scoring and cutting sheath that transforms regular angioplasty balloons into vessel prep systems.

New Microcatheter Successful in PAE Case with Tortuous Anatomy XO Cath Microcatheter PAE case involving tortuous left and right prostatic arteries. XO Cath tracked well around tight turns and bends and provided strong flow rates regardless of its low profile (2F OD / .021” ID). The XO Cath microcatheter is designed to deliver new levels of trackability, torque response, imaging quality, and embolic compatibility for improved treatment delivery. #XOCath #interventionalradiology #interventionaloncology #embolization

XO Constrain Demonstrates a 40% Improvement in Balloon Rewrap Treating challenging lesions in small, tortuous vessels requires a low-profile vessel prep system. Upon deflation, PTA balloon rewrap adds additional diameter to the device. XO Constrain improves PTA balloon rewrap by 40% maintaining a low-profile even after treatment and device removal. XO Constrain is a low-profile balloon dilation scoring and constraining catheter that works with a broad range of off-the-shelf PTA and PTCA balloons ranging in size between 1.5 and 4mm in diameter and up to 20mm in length, regardless of manufacturer or brand. Upon inflation, XO Constrain expands the constraining structure and is designed to facilitate uniform, atraumatic balloon expansion, vessel scoring, and rewrap within small or distal vessels.
