Chameleon™ PTA Balloon Catheter
Maintain vascular access for dialysis with combined PTA and injection efficiencies.
Multitasking with the integration of targeted injection and exit ports. Whether inflated or deflated, visualize PTA balloon placement and outcomes while maintaining wire position with the Chameleon™ PTA balloon.
Discover targeted angioplasty with real-time feedback
The Chameleon™ PTA balloon catheter combines the functionality of a high pressure 0.035″ balloon catheter and a diagnostic catheter — enabling efficiencies through targeted, proximal injection of diagnostic and therapeutic fluids before, during, or after inflation. All while maintaining wire access.1
Addressing a diverse range of dialysis access and performance needs — from fistula maturation to stenosis and thrombosis related dysfunction.
- Declot/Thrombectomy
- Central venous stenosis
- Balloon assisted fistula maturation
- Retrograde angioplasty
- Fibrin sheath disruption
- Miller banding
- Hands-free reflux angioplasty
