Invatec
Invatec (Booth 1450) is launching U.S. operations for its peripheral treatments for the coronary, carotid, renal and iliac arteries by showcasing an array of its coronary and peripheral products, which are not currently available for purchase in the U.S.

The InvaStent Volo coronary stent system with a slotted tube, closed cell, diameter specific and thin-strut design, combined with well proven SDS (Avion derived) for delivery. The Volo coronary stent system consists of a slotted tube stent platform premounted on a RX balloon Stent Delivery System. The stent’s closed-cell design is based on an interconnection of multiple mono type cells featuring mechanical properties: Mechanical behavior under bending; stent bends in the pre-mounted as well as in the expanded status. Local strut detachment is prevented even under bending without compromising the profile with flaring or fish scaling effects.

The Falcon CTO PTCA balloon catheter is 1.00 mm for recanalization for chronic total occlusion (CTO) that can be used on cross lesions. With a hydrophilic coating, it has a full-length transition assembly from Hypotube to balloon tip for a true 1:1 push response and fixed inner tube prevents accordion effects while crossing and re-crossing.
