Pyramed signs ground-breaking deal with AngioScore Inc. for exclusive distribution in the UK for the AngioSculpt Scoring Balloon Catheter. This recognises Pyramed's unique ability to successfully launch paradigm shifting products and to continue first in class growth strategy into the Cardiology market. The AngioSculpt Catheter will also have a major impact in the Peripheral Vascular clinical setting.

The AngioSculpt Scoring Balloon Catheter is a line of innovative coronary angioplasty catheters comprising an angioplasty balloon surrounded by a unique system of Nitinol scoring elements. Creating focal concentrations of dilating force, the scoring elements score arterial lesions as the balloon expands.
The AngioSculpt Scoring Balloon Catheter is intended for the treatment of a haemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis, including in-stent restenosis, for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion. The AngioSculpt catheter was developed to address the clinical need for a safe, high performance “workhorse” predilatation catheter that also provides the benefits of plaque scoring in complex cases such as calcified lesions, small vessels and in-stent restenosis. Treatment of these complex lesions can be complicated by challenging anatomy that makes catheter delivery difficult, balloon slippage leading to “geographic miss”, elastic recoil and the need to use high pressures. Combining deliverability comparable to that of high performance angioplasty balloon catheters with the benefits of plaque-scoring and a high rated burst pressure (up to 20 atm), the AngioSculpt catheter is the catheter of choice for complex lesions.

AngioSculpt Scoring Advantage

The AngioSculpt Scoring Balloon Catheter provides more plaque scoring per millimetre of balloon length. Superior scoring performance reduces local stress, helps prevent balloon slippage and ensures more uniform surface scoring coverage.
