Established peripheral artery procedures utilize a wide range of technologies from surgical by-pass to endovascular treatments such as angioplasty, stenting, laser, and atherectomy therapy. These therapies acutely provide restored blood flow in the legs but have shown limited durability in vessel patency. There remains a clinical need for alternative or adjunctive therapies to improve long-term outcomes in patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).

Beneficial New Therapeutic Option

Minnow Medical has developed a platform technology, Guided Reshaping Technology (GRT™), which selectively tailors the delivery of electrical and mechanical energy through a catheter-based technology to restore blood flow in the Superficial Femoral Arteries (SFA) and Popliteal Arteries.

The Minnow Medical Peripheral Vascular System complements the skills and reduces the procedural requirements of physicians that specialize in endovascular therapy as it:

• Is quick, easy to learn, and similar to angioplasty
• May minimize fluoroscopy time compared to atherectomy and laser due to potentially shorter procedure times
• May reduce the acute need for adjunctive therapy at the time of treatment
• Expands future therapeutic options at the diseased lesion, if required
• Can be used multiple times during the same procedure, limiting device exchanges

Minnow Medical's Peripheral Vascular System is not for sale at this time. The claims for this device made on this website describe the expected clinical performance of the device and have not yet been confirmed through clinical trials.
