Intravascular ultrasound technology enables physicians to see detailed images inside the heart and coronary arteries. The company said the iCross catheter would be available immediately in the US.
According to Boston Scientific, the iCross catheter features a Bioslide hydrophilic coating that has been shown in bench tests to provide a 28% improvement in pushability in challenging anatomy.
Hank Kucheman, senior vice president and group president of cardiovascular at Boston Scientific, said: “This latest advance builds on the success of our existing Atlantis SR Pro catheter. We expect that the improvements iCross offers to physicians and their patients will help further solidify our leadership in intravascular ultrasound.”
