The dilatation balloon catheter is a coaxial catheter OTW, designed for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of peripheral arteries.The catheter has a coaxial double-lumen body from the proximal connector to the balloon. Two flexible radiopaque markers are located at each end of the balloon in order to mark its length and help the user to see the catheter while inside the patient. At the distal end is the tip, rounded for atraumatic behavior to avoid damaging the arteries while the catheter is being advanced. The distal part, including the balloon, is coated with a durable and slippery hydrophilic coating (HYDRAX) that minimizes friction and improves catheter trackability. Indicated for dilation of stenosis in femoral, popliteal, infrapopliteal and renal arteries and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae, with a nominal diameter from 5 to 12 mm and lengths from 20 to 200 mm.
