Guardian™ PTCA Balloon (CTO/NC):

Precision Dilation for Complex Coronary Lesions

Hainwise proudly introduces the Guardian™ PTCA Balloon (CTO/NC) – a next-generation percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty balloon engineered specifically for challenging chronic total occlusions (CTO) and resistant lesions. Combining non-compliant technology with optimized trackability and visibility, Guardian™ delivers precise, controlled, and safe dilatation in even the most complex coronary anatomies.

Core Features & Technical Advantages

• Versatile for CTO & Complex Stenoses

Specially designed to address the unique challenges of chronic total occlusions, heavily calcified lesions, and diffuse narrowings, providing reliable performance across a wide spectrum of difficult-to-treat coronary pathologies.

• Non-Compliant (NC) Design for Precise Dilation

The advanced NC balloon material ensures controlled and predictable expansion, minimizing overstretch and reducing the risk of vessel injury while achieving consistent and accurate diameter outcomes at nominal pressure.

• Excellent Pushability for Smooth Delivery

Engineered with a low-profile distal tip and a reinforced shaft to enhance one-to-one transmission of push force, enabling smooth and responsive navigation through tortuous, angulated, and calcified vessel segments.

• Clear Radiopacity & Accurate Positioning

Integrated proximal and distal radiopaque markers provide exceptional fluoroscopic visibility, allowing for precise balloon placement and controlled inflation under direct imaging guidance, enhancing procedural accuracy and patient safety.

Clinical Applications

• Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
  

Provides reliable predilation and lesion preparation in CTO revascularization procedures.

• Calcified & Fibrotic Lesion Dilatation

Effective in modifying heavily calcified or fibrotic plaques prior to stent deployment or as stand-alone therapy.

• In-Stent Restenosis (ISR) Management

Suitable for treating resistant neointimal hyperplasia within previously stented segments.

• High-Pressure Post-Dilation

Enables controlled high-pressure expansion to optimize stent apposition and vessel wall contact.

• Bifurcation & Tortuous Vessel Interventions

Enhanced trackability supports use in anatomically challenging bifurcation lesions and severely tortuous coronary pathways.
