X-Ace™ Neuro High Pressure Balloon Catheter: Precision Angioplasty for Complex Neurovascular Lesions

Product Overview

The X-Ace™ Neuro High Pressure Balloon represents a technological advancement in neurovascular intervention, combining ultra-low profile delivery with controlled high-pressure dilation capability. Engineered specifically for the anatomical and physiological demands of cerebral and peripheral neurovascular systems, this balloon catheter delivers precise, predictable, and efficient treatment of atherosclerotic lesions, vasospasm, and vessel preparation prior to stent placement.

Key Benefits

1. Enhanced Deliverability

• Ultra-Low Tip Entry Profile: Proprietary distal tip design minimizes crossing profile while maintaining secure wire tracking, facilitating access through highly stenotic and tortuous neurovascular pathways.

• Robust Flexible Shaft Construction: Multi-layer composite shaft architecture balances pushability and flexibility, enabling successful navigation through complex cervical and intracranial anatomy without compromising device integrity or control.

2. Predictable Therapeutic Performance

• Advanced Balloon Material Engineering: Proprietary semi-compliant polymer matrix maintains predetermined cylindrical shape at rated burst pressures (RBP), ensuring uniform radial force distribution and minimizing "dog-boning" effects.

• Focal Pressure Application: Precision balloon design concentrates therapeutic pressure specifically at the lesion site, enabling controlled vessel expansion while preserving adjacent healthy endothelium and minimizing vessel trauma.

3. Optimized Procedural Efficiency

• Superior Rewrap Characteristics: Controlled wall thickness and material memory enable consistent, low-profile balloon folding after deflation, facilitating smooth withdrawal through microcatheters or guide sheaths.

• Rapid Deflation Dynamics: Engineered deflation channel geometry reduces occlusion time by achieving complete balloon deflation in <3 seconds (typical), minimizing cerebral ischemia duration during critical neurovascular procedures.

Clinical Applications

Neurovascular Interventions

• Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease (ICAD): Controlled dilation of symptomatic intracranial stenosis

• Vasospasm Management: Post-subarachnoid hemorrhage vasospasm treatment with controlled pressure application

• Stent Preparation: Vessel pre-dilation prior to neurovascular stent deployment

• Mechanical Thrombectomy Adjunct: Vessel dilation following clot extraction in resistant cases

Peripheral & Specialty Applications

• Carotid Artery Angioplasty: Focal lesion treatment in cervical carotid segments

• Vertebral Artery Interventions: Precise dilation in posterior circulation anatomy

• Resistant Lesion Crossing: Facilitates device delivery through calcified or fibrotic lesions

• Pediatric Vascular Conditions: Available in smaller diameters for pediatric neurovascular applications
