The arrival of drug-eluting stents has heralded a new era in interventional cardiology with the cardiologist now able to treat a much broader range of patients and lesions than ever before.

As a PTCA balloon's journey is becoming increasingly demanding (i.e. reaching a distal lesion through tortuous anatomy or crossing a tight or total occlusion), Cordis has designed the Aqua T3¢â, a PTCA balloon that will provide you with outstanding deliverability and procedural safety when treating the most challenging lesions.

When preparing a tight lesion prior to stent placement, you want to limit the injury to the vessel.(1)

Cordis low compliant Duralyn¢â balloon material:

• inflicts less stress on the arterial wall than more compliant balloons
• minimizes the risk of dissection
• reduces vessel trauma at higher pressures
