Cagent Vascular, Inc., the exclusive developer of serration technology for vessel dilation in endovascular interventions, today announced the launch of its newest product, Serranator SL-PRO™ PTA Serration Balloon Catheter.

Serranator SL-PRO™ is purpose-built for pedal intervention as well as challenging-to-cross tibial disease. Serranator SL-PRO™ utilizes Cagent’s proven Serration Technology on a redesigned platform offering improved deliverability and trackability¹, while offering Serranator’s proven 1,000 times increase in point force versus plain balloon. Its innovative mechanism of action allows for predictable and controlled lumen gain with minimal dissection.

Dr. Michael Lichtenberg (Chief Medical Officer and Director of the Angiology Department and Vascular Center at the Arnsberg Clinic in Arnsberg, Germany) said, “As an experienced Serranator operator, my team has grown accustomed to the benefits of Serration including great lumen gain, low complication rate, and low 6% BTK vessel recoil vs. 55% measured recoil with Plain Balloon².” Dr. Lichtenberg continued, “We also appreciate Serranator’s ability to safely and effectively treat complex disease, even down into the pedal arteries. With SL-PRO, we’re eager to experience the advantages of Serranation in this new, more deliverable platform.”

Cagent Vascular Chairman and CEO Brian Walsh added, "We are committed to consistently developing and advancing solutions for physicians treating PAD patients, and winning the fight against this debilitating disease. With over 20,000 Serranation procedures now completed and a growing library of clinical data, Serranator has proven itself to be a valuable tool in this fight. The Serranator SL-PRO™ is a purpose-built tool for pedal intervention, and with it, the Serranator product family can now treat from hip to toe.”

The Serranator^® and Serranator SL-PRO™ PTA Serration Balloon Catheters are FDA-cleared, novel balloons using proprietary stainless steel micro-serration technology, designed to create linear, interrupted scoring along the endoluminal surface. With 1,000x more point force compared with plain-old balloon angioplasty, serration occurs during slow-and-low balloon inflation and is designed to aid arterial expansion, effectively achieving luminal gain in all lesion morphologies.
