Paclitaxel drug-coated PTA balloon that inhibits restenosis in femoropopliteal and below-the-knee angioplasty for peripheral arterial disease.

Extender Drug PTA Balloon Catheter — drug coated balloon

Extender Drug PTA Balloon Catheter

A drug-coated balloon for peripheral transluminal angioplasty (PTA), releasing antiproliferative agents to mitigate restenosis in femoral or popliteal arteries.

Specialties

Arterial, Peripheral

Elevating Angioplasty with Precision and Efficacy

  • Balloon Material: Durable and flexible for precise navigation and deployment.

  • Compatibility: Usable with standard catheter systems.

  • Size Range: Available in various sizes to accommodate different vascular diameters.

Choose for Optimal Drug Delivery

  • Deployment: Rapid and controlled balloon inflation and deflation.

  • Drug Type: Paclitaxel Incorporates anti-proliferative drugs to prevent restenosis.

  • Drug Coating: Homogeneous drug distribution for consistent delivery.

Innovation Meets Vascular Treatment

  • Highly compliant balloon material ensures optimal contact with the vessel wall for effective drug delivery.

  • Therapeutic window achieved after 30 seconds inflation time.

  • Rapid drug release and absorption kinetics ensure targeted therapeutic effects,assuring physicians of sustained results.

Safety and Effectiveness of the Novel TemREN Atherectomy System Combined Use With Extender Drug-Eluting Balloon in Lower Extremity Arteries

Results

For the primary analysis, the rate of lesion technical success was 97.0%, meeting the prospectively established target performance goal of 86%. After postatherectomy adjunctive therapy, residual stenosis was 30% for 100% of lesions means final diameter stenosis, 10.9%.

Early and midterm results of the retrograde transpopliteal approach as the first-line treatment for total occlusions of iliofemoral arteries.

Technical success, defined as restored patency with no stenosis greater than 30%, was achieved in (92.9%) of patients. A patient who was a heavy smoker showed acute symptoms of claudication due to 80% stenosis of the iliac stent 20 days after discharge and was treated with balloon angioplasty.

  • 3.0-3.5ug / mm2 drug dosage

  • <2mm particles

  • Contrast media as a drug carrier

  • Minimum drug release during delivery

  • Available in Non-Compliant version

  • <90% drug transfer to the target lession

  • Quick deflation time

  • Excellent pushability

Paclitaxel-Iopromid Coating

  • Optimal Drug Delivery: Rapid paclitaxel release into the vessel wall upon balloon inflation aids in inhibiting neointimal hyperplasia.

  • Stable Surface Layer: The specialized coating formulation resists delamination, ensuring controlled, uniform distribution of the antiproliferative agent.

Wide Balloon Diameter & Length Range

  • Diameter: 1.5 mm–12.0 mm covers small distal arteries up to larger peripheral segments.

  • Length: 20 mm–220 mm addresses both short, focal lesions and extensive diseased vessel segments—reducing procedural device exchanges.

Low-Profile Catheter & Multiple Guidewire Compatibility

  • 5F Shaft Design: Minimizes access-site trauma, beneficial for challenging anatomies or smaller access routes.

  • Guidewire Options: Accommodates 0.014”, 0.018”, or 0.035” wires, offering flexibility in diverse peripheral vascular lesions.

High Radiopacity for Accurate Placement

  • Pt-Ir Markers: Ensures clear, real-time balloon positioning under fluoroscopy, facilitating precise lesion coverage and drug deposition.

Varied Catheter Lengths

  • 80, 90, 120, 135, 150 cm: Multiple workable lengths allow operators to select the ideal configuration for femoral, popliteal, tibial, or other target vessels.

Clinical Evidence

The Extender drug-eluting balloon has been studied in combination with TemREN atherectomy in lower-extremity arterial disease:

  • LEO 7 prospective trial (Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2018) — in 67 patients treated with Temren atherectomy plus Extender drug-eluting balloon, technical success was 97.0% and 6-month freedom from target lesion revascularization was 89.0%. DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2018.08.161
