RX PTCA Post-Dilatation Catheter
EMPIRA™ NC Balloon Catheter features a low
crossing profile1*†
•Crossability: Proprietary folding & pleating reduce the primary profile,
helping you reach even hard-to-treat lesions1
•Recrossability: Innovative hydrophilic coating improves lubricity &
durability through multiple crosses
•Flexibility: Next-generation DURALYN® Flex Balloon Material & kinkresistant shaft improve crossability & trackability
•Best-in-class controlled growth: Perform intervention with the most
non-compliant post-dilatation balloon available1
Next-generation DURALYN® Flex Balloon
Material is 50% more flexible than
