Features and Benefits
Designed for Controlled Plaque Modification

Compared to a standard PTA balloon of the same size, UltraScore™:

  • Provides approximately 24 times more force where the wire contacts the lesion1
  • Is designed to longitudinally fracture plaque at lower inflation pressure
  • May allow for more controlled plaque fracture and less vessel recoil, even in calcified lesions
Low Profile, Over-The-Wire Design

UltraScore™ Focused Force PTA Balloon is available on a .035″ and .014″platform:

  • Only 4F scoring balloon on the U.S. market2
  • First .035″ scoring balloon commercially available on the U.S. market2
  • Hydrophilic coating for optimised deliverability on .014” platform
Featuring GeoAlign™ Marking System

The UltraScore™ Focused Force PTA Balloon is the first scoring balloon to feature the GeoAlign™ Marking System for use as an intravascular measurement tool

  • Designed to reduce fluoroscopy time, up to 27% in a pre-clinical study3
  • Simple-to-use, non-radiopaque ruler on the catheter shaft is designed to facilitate repeat catheter and geographic alignment3

Broad size matrix

  • Wide range of size offerings on an 0.014” and 0.035” guidewire
  • Hydrophilic coating for optimised deliverability on .014" platform

3. When the catheter is introduced to the vascular system, the location of balloon should be confirmed while under fluoroscopic observation. GeoAlign™ Markers are not a replacement for fluoroscopy. Animal study (repeat PTA in swine artery) was performed by 3 physicians who tested the Lutonix™ 035 (no drug) and the Ultraverse® 035 pta Catheter, both with GeoAlign™ Markers, to POBA with no GeoAlign™ Markers(n=112, test n=96 (average placement time of 66 seconds), control n=16 (average placement of 90 seconds)). Animal data on file, Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. Tempe, AZ. Animal test results may not be indicative of clinical performance. Different test methods may yield different results.
