High Pressure Precision With Outstanding Deliverability
Armada 14 NC PTA Catheter combines a non-compliant balloon with improved deliverability and low crossing profile.
Controlled Expansion at High Pressure
- Uniform expansion for reliable and precise dilatation1
- High-pressure (20 atm RBP) performance to confidently achieve luminal gain2
- Armada™ 14 NC PTA Catheter maintains its diameter even at 20 atm
Outstanding Deliverability
- Has low crossing profile, comparable to semi-compliant balloons
- Has excellent pushability and deliverability for confident navigation through calcified lesions
- Facilitates recrossing after initial inflation
Designed for Esprit™ BTK System
- Indicated to post-dilate Esprit™ BTK System which requires full strut apposition3,4
- Broad size matrix and compatible with Esprit™ BTK System across all diameters and lengths
