The ReeKross is possibly the most innovative catheter development in 10 years. The ReeKross is a PTA catheter designed with the capability of performing angioplasty on vessels with extreme occlusions in the arteries of the leg such as the SFA, iliac and tibial artery.
NOW WITH 220MM LONG BALLOONS.
The product features a unique capacity for pushability to cope with blockages in long occluded vessels and an extremely durable balloon to cope with high calcification. The ReeKross may be used in the true-lumen or extra-luminal mode (sub-intimal approach).
The unique ClearStream KrossLock™ technology enables almost 100% of both push and torque to be transmitted from the hub right to the end of the catheter tip. Together with the Quadflex® balloon technology there is the potential to significantly improve the success rate of the most difficult cases involving long occluded vessels including those utilising the sub-intimal approach. Evaluations have shown that the ReeKross can reduce procedure time and reduce the number of catheters required.
KrossLock™ Inner Shaft
KrossLock™ inner shaft is a major innovation in over-the-wire catheter design. This enables almost 100% of both push and torque to be transmitted from the hub right to the tip of the catheter, without any bucking or "concertina" of the balloon when obstructions are encountered. The distal part of the catheter in the area of the balloon is very flexible to facilitate navigation and tracking of the guidewire. When an obstruction is encountered, KrossLock™ action transmits forward push fully to the tip.
QuadFlex® Balloon
ClearStream engineers have developed the new QuadFlex® Balloon with the characteristics needed to perform multiple inflations while advancing the catheter through long occluded lesions. 120mm balloon length, supported by the new buckle-proof KrossLock™ inner shaft, has the potential to significantly improve procedure success rates.
Quadflex® delivers: Flexibility - Easily navigating to the required location Durability - Capable of multiple inflations in types B/C lesions Strength - High rated burst pressure Rewrapability - Excellent memory resulting in very low profile after deflation to facilitate further entry into the target lesion and easy pull-back or re-entry into the sheath(SF)
