Peripheral drug-coated balloons

IN.PACT™ AV drug-coated balloon

The IN.PACT™ AV drug-coated balloon (DCB) is used for arteriovenous (AV) access maintenance.

Features

The IN.PACT™ AV DCB is a clinically demonstrated endovascular therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with a narrowed AV fistula. It delivers an antiproliferative drug (paclitaxel) to the vessel to inhibit neointimal hyperplasia (NIH), the primary cause of AV fistula stenosis. The proprietary design enables the IN.PACT™ AV DCB to deliver sustained drug levels and unparalleled clinical results.1

Efficient delivery

A proprietary combination of paclitaxel drug and urea excipient allows rapid transfer of the antiproliferative drug to the vessel wall.2

Sustained duration

Reservoirs of the drug stay in the vessel wall, making it capable of delivering effective paclitaxel levels by residing in the vessel for up to 180 days.2

Extended effect

Uniquely combining an appropriate dosage for an appropriate amount of time,2 the IN.PACT™ AV DCB can reduce the need for reinterventions and catheter-based dialysis and the related risks of infection and all-cause mortality.1

Get ahead of AV fistula restenosis1

In the largest randomized AV DCB study conducted, IN.PACT™ AV DCB reduced interventions by more than 56% over PTA.1 It is the only AV DCB on the market to meet its primary effectiveness endpoint.

How it works

Mechanism of action

The IN.PACT™ AV DCB is coated with a unique combination of paclitaxel, an antiproliferative drug, and an excipient, urea. The unique drug dose and excipient formulation showed unmatched results versus PTA in the largest AV DCB clinical trial.1
