Scoreflex NC

Scoring PTCA Catheter

Dual wire scoring for
effective plaque modification

Focused Force Angioplasty for Safe and Controlled Dilatation

Scoreflex NC is a focused force dilatation balloon with a dual-wire system which creates a focal stress pattern to facilitate safe and controlled plaque modification at lower resolution pressure.

Advance a standard guidewire across the target lesion.

Advance Scoreflex NC balloon over the guidewire and cross the target lesion.

Inflate the Scoreflex NC balloon in a stepwise fashion.

Withdraw the deflated Scoreflex NC balloon once the desired result is achieved.

Scoreflex NC Construction

TIP

Short guidewire exchange tip

WIRE

A nitinol integral wire, welded from tip to hypotube, serving as one of the scoring elements

MARKERS

Two radiopaque markers on the integral wire aligned to the balloon shoulders

The (conventional) guidewire exits proximal to the tip and acts as the second scoring element

Excellent Pushability And Deliverability

Continuous hub-to-tip metallic construction for enhanced pushability,
with a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings to minimize friction

Hydro-X hydrophilic coating is a water-absorbing, very slippery coating that reduces friction during lesion crossing.

IMPROVES CROSSABILITY

Invio hydrophobic coating is a water-repelling, slippery coating that reduces guidewire friction.

IMPROVES TRACKABILITY

Safe And Effective Plaque Modification

Scoreflex NC is a non-compliant focused force dilatation balloon that comes with a dual wire system which enables safe and effective plaque modification.

Commonly Seen Applications Based On
Real World Experience:

Lesion preparation for stents, scaffolds, drug-coated balloons
Calcified and fibrotic lesions
Ostial lesions
Bifurcation lesions
Long diffused lesions
Small lesions without need of stenting
In-stent restenosis
