TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System
Remove plaque that impedes blood flow and circulation in the legs with the TurboHawk™ peripheral plaque excision system. Choose from a High Efficiency Cutter model that can tackle calcified plaque or a Smooth Cutter model that can treat mild-to-moderately calcified lesions. Proven clinically in the landmark DEFINITIVE LE trial, the study found that diabetic PAD patients fared as well as nondiabetics and that claudicants had high patency at 12 months when treated with plaque excision technology.
The TurboHawk™ Peripheral Plaque Excision System is intended for use in the atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature. The TurboHawk catheter is NOT intended for use in the coronary, carotid, iliac, or renal vasculature.
The TurboHawk Catheter is indicated for use in conjunction with the SpiderFX™ Embolic protection device in the treatment of severely calcified lesions (LS-C and LX-C only).
Features and Benefits
The TurboHawk peripheral plaque excision system can maximize lumen gain, above and below the knee, in all lesion morphologies, including calcium.* Because no capital equipment is needed to operate the TurboHawk device, minimal set-up time is required.
PRESERVES THE NATIVE VESSEL
- Allows you to preserve the native vessel and keep future treatment options open.
- Treats peripheral arterial disease by removing soft-to-moderately calcified plaque.
- Captures plaque from the vessel and stores it in the nosecone for safe removal.
PROVEN RESULTS
- Results are backed by the landmark DEFINITIVE LE clinical study.
CUTTER SELECTION
TurboHawk Cutters
TurboHawk offers high-efficiency (1) and smooth (2) cutters.
- Choose a cutter based on the procedural need and lesion morphology.
- High-efficiency cutter tackles soft to moderately calcified lesions.
- Smooth cutter treats soft to mild calcification.
TurboHawk Drive Shaft
TurboHawk counter-wound drive shaft transmits power more efficiently to the cutting blade.
TurboHawk Distal Flush Tool
The distal flush and cleaning tool effectively cleans and flushes plaque from the device.
TurboHawk Catheter Alignment Marker
The marker (white band) aligns the nosecone with the distal flush tool for faster cleaning.
