Intended to dilate stenosis in the iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, infra-popliteal, and renal arteries, and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.

This device is an over the wire (OTW) 0.014" coaxial lumen catheter with a distally mounted semi-compliant inflatable balloon and an atraumatic, tapered tip. The distal portion of the catheter shaft and the balloon has a hydrophilic coating. The manifold includes a lumen marked "THRU". This is the central lumen of the catheter that terminates at the distal tip. This lumen is used to pass the catheter over a guide wire with a maximum outer diameter of 0.014". The lumen marked "BALLOON" is used to inflate and deflate the dilatation balloon with a solution of contrast medium and saline. The balloon has two radiopaque markers for positioning the balloon relative to the stenosis. The radiopaque marker bands indicate the dilating or working section of the balloon. The 210mm balloon contains two additional radiopaque marker bands that denote the middle of the balloon body.
