With calcium, the right tools make a difference

The WOLVERINE advantage

Superior Mechanism of Action3

Atherotomes anchor to calcium and produce controlled, longitudinal fractures.

 

Atherotome Placement

Enables up to 4 points of contact with calcium, improving the probability of modification with a single balloon.

 

Focused Force to Amplify Impact

Forces amplified 3x at atherotomes, precisely fracturing calcium at lower balloon inflation pressures.

Effective: Seeing is believing

With clinically demonstrated efficacy in cases ranging from 0° to 360° calcification4, eccentric calcium has finally met its match with WOLVERINE.
WOLVERINE Product Schematic

Safe: Tough on calcium and safe for healthy tissue

WOLVERINE’s atherotomes anchor into the plaque and amplify pressures to safely fracture calcium at lower pressures. These controlled, microsurgical incisions are no thicker than a strand of hair.

Atherotome Comparison
WOLVERINE’s precision: Combined with appropriate balloon sizing, enables better luminal gain at a lower pressure while reducing the risk of barotrauma in resistant lesions.3

Versatile: Maximum impact at lower pressure

Secured atherotomes amplify force in calcium up to 3x1 so lesions can be modified at lower pressures than possible with POBA or scoring balloons

Product Design and Technical Details

What is a Cutting Balloon?

Coronary cutting balloon is intended for opening coronary arteries in those circumstances where a resistant lesion is encountered and unable to be opened with traditional balloon angioplasty.


 What Makes This Product Unique?

Treating complex lesions with traditional balloon angioplasty can result in complications like vessel dissection, poor luminal gain, lesion recoil, balloon slippage, and poor stent apposition.The unique design of the WOLVERINE Cutting Balloon combines a proprietary atherotome and low pressure balloon design to directly address each of these complications.
