Below The Knee (BTK) solutions

Critical Limb ischaemia (CLI) is commonly associated with below-the-knee (BTK) lesions and challenging lesion characteristics such as severe calcification. The severity of calcification increases in distal arteries, presenting unique challenges to delivery endovascular therapies.1,2,3

These challenges make BTK interventions some of the most difficult, time-consuming cases.

Take control of the most complex and heavily calcified lesions protecting your most vulnerable and high-risk patients with our broad portfolio for CLI solutions. We support you on your mission to save limbs and save lives.



Take control of the most complex and calcified lesions below the knee with our broad portfolio for treating CLI.

Access
The first step in a successful endovascular revascularisation is accessing and crossing a lesion with an appropriate guidewire. In CLI patients this is often challenging due to the high prevalence of vascular calcification.
Prepare
Vessel preparation techniques focus primarily on improving vessel compliance to reduce complications and improve outcomes of therapy delivery4.
Treat
Below the knee interventions are generally reserved for patients with CLI5. The most common treatment for revascularisation of BTK arteries is balloon angioplasty.

Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) solutions

More than 50% of CLI patients present with lesions both above and below the knee6. In the SFA these lesions are often chronically occluded and remain challenging to treat due to high rates of stenosis7. We offer you advanced technologies to optimise outcomes for your patient, reducing the risk ​of restenosis and the need for reintervention.​

Our broad portfolio includes all the tools you need to access, prepare and treat any type of lesion.

Treat
There is a strong need for improved outcomes in treating BTK lesions for patients with CLI. However the majority of patients with CLI have multilevel disease and treating inflow vessels are just as critical to success of endovascular therapy.
