The AngioSculpt PTA scoring balloon catheter in 7 and 8 millimeter diameter balloon sizes are ideally suited to treat the narrowing of the native or synthetic fistula. The product assists physicians with a difficult patient set, targeting lesions in the hemodialysis access that are resistant to standard balloon angioplasty.

Safety: Low dissection rate
Safety: Low dissection rate
Post scoring, outward forces are designed to be equivalent to that of a conventional balloon resulting in a low dissection rate and minimal perforations, along with a low rate of adjunctive stenting.⁴,⁵
