Boston Scientific Corp. has announced the launch of a new guidewire designed to facilitate crossing of resistant lesions, according to a news release.
The new Victory guidewires are also designed to facilitate the placement and exchange of balloon catheters or other interventional devices within the peripheral vasculature.
Features of the Victory guidewires include a matrix of high gram-load tip options ranging from 12g to 30g; stainless steel technology; hydrophilic coating; and availability in both 0.014" and 0.018" diameter sizes with four different gram-load options.
"Physicians treating critical limb ischemia patients typically require a variety of treatment options. Boston Scientific is committed to offering a wide variety of crossing solutions," said Jeff Mirviss, president of the Boston Scientific's peripheral interventions division, in the release. "Victory guidewires complement our already broad portfolio of crossing solutions, inclusive of our market-leading angioplasty balloons, Rubicon support catheter and the TruePath CTO device. The Victory guidewires offer another option to cross these highly resistant lesions and potentially avoid the need for amputation."
Boston Scientific is headquartered in Natick, Mass.
