September 17, 2024—Cardio Flow, Inc. has added a new option to its FreedomFlow® orbital atherectomy platform. The new 5 French 3-sphere driveshaft adds a third option to the FreedomFlow platform, joining two 5-sphere driveshafts (5 French and 6 French) for the treatment of complex peripheral artery disease (PAD).
FreedomFlow’s diamond-coated spheres are designed to power through complex vessel blockages by harnessing the power of angular momentum—a rotational vortex that puts three to five diamond-coated spheres in constant contact with the vessel wall, whether advancing or retracting. This modern mechanism of action gives physicians a highly efficient, effective, and flexible way to treat complex PAD in vessels ranging from 2 mm to 8 mm in diameter.
5 Fr 3-sphere is approximately 1.5 mm in diameter (0.062″) and treats vessels 2 mm – 4 mm
5 Fr 5-sphere is approximately 1.5 mm in diameter (0.062”) and treats vessels 2 mm – 4 mm
6 Fr 5-sphere is approximately 2.0 mm in diameter (0.082″) and treats vessels 4 mm – 8 mm
Steve Crowell, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, noted,
The sphere configuration in the new 5 French 3-sphere driveshaft offers physicians enhanced precision and flexibility for treating complex PAD. This advancement improves navigation through challenging anatomy, allowing for more effective treatments while ensuring control and ease of use. We’re excited to continue expanding our portfolio with advanced tools that improve patient outcomes.”
