TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System

Atherectomy of Peripheral Vasculature

  • TurboHawk Plaque Excision Catheter

Overview

Remove plaque that impedes blood flow and circulation in the legs with the TurboHawk™ peripheral plaque excision system. Choose from a High Efficiency Cutter model that can tackle calcified plaque or a Smooth Cutter model that can treat mild-to-moderately calcified lesions. Proven clinically in the landmark DEFINITIVE LE trial, the study found that diabetic PAD patients fared as well as nondiabetics and that claudicants had high patency at 12 months when treated with plaque excision technology.1

Indications

The TurboHawk peripheral plaque excision system is intended for use in the atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature. The TurboHawk catheter is NOT intended for use in the coronary, carotid, iliac, or renal vasculature.

Product Details

The TurboHawk peripheral plaque excision system can maximize lumen gain, above and below the knee, in all lesion morphologies, including calcium.* Because no capital equipment is needed to operate the TurboHawk device, minimal set-up time is required.

Preserves the native vessel

  • Allows you to preserve the native vessel and keep future treatment options open.
  • Treats peripheral arterial disease by removing soft-to-moderately calcified plaque.
  • Captures plaque from the vessel and stores it in the nosecone for safe removal.

Proven results

  • Results are backed by the landmark DEFINITIVE LE clinical study.

Cutter selection

TurboHawk Cutters
TurboHawk offers high-efficiency (1) and smooth (2) cutters.

  • Choose a cutter based on the procedural need and lesion morphology.
  • High-efficiency cutter tackles soft to moderately calcified lesions.
  • Smooth cutter treats soft to mild calcification.

† Sheath Compatibility - Per the Instructions For Use, the large vessel devices with smooth cutter are compatible with 8 F sheaths. A physician survey of device usage indicated 7 F sheaths may have an Internal Diameter (ID) that will accommodate the crossing profile of the LX-M and LS-M (non-flush tip) devices. Data on file with manufacturer.

** Working Length - distal end of strain relief to the distal end of tip.

‡ Effective Length - distal end of strain relief to the proximal end of cutter window.
