The Cross-Pilot is a laser support catheter for the 0.9 Turbo Elite laser ablation catheter. The Cross-Pilot was designed to provide additional support for reaching distal lesions. The Cross-Pilot laser support catheter is currently offered in 125cm length and straight and angled tip configurations, the company said.
According to the company, the braid reinforced catheter construction and hydrophilic coating allow for better pushability through distal vessels and the angled tip allows for quicker access to branched anatomy.
Emile Geisenheimer, chairman, president and CEO of Spectranetics, said: “We are pleased to receive FDA clearance for another important product. The Cross-Pilot product line, and the Quick-Cross Extreme product line, which was approved by the FDA last week, will expand our support catheter product offering to the benefit of our physician customers and their patients.”
