Cordis Corporation has launched Sleek OTW Catheter, a new .014” Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Balloon Catheter designed to help physicians save limbs and enhance patients’ lives.

Cordis Sleek OTW Catheter is the latest technology designed to restore blood flow to the lower limbs, which helps physicians save limbs and enhance patients’ lives.

The Sleek OTW Catheter has a unique balance of excellent pushability with a small crossing profile that helps physicians reach small arteries below-the-knee and into the foot to restore blood flow to the lower limb.

A broad portfolio of sizes is also offered with PTA balloon diameters of 1.25mm to 5.0mm and lengths up to 220mm that allow physicians to treat diffuse disease with less inflation. With the Sleek OTW Catheter, physicians can treat complex below-the-knee disease with confidence.

Cordis Global Head R&D chief scientific officer Campbell Rogers said the Sleek OTW Catheter offers most advanced technology designed to treat challenging below the knee disease.

"This addition to our Lower Extremity product portfolio underscores our commitment to providing solutions that help save limbs and improve the quality of life for patients with advanced peripheral vascular disease," Rogers said.
