OrbusNeich Launches Next-Generation Scoreflex NC Coronary Scoring Balloon

February 2, 2017—OrbusNeich recently announced the launch of its Scoreflex NC noncompliant scoring balloon to treat resistant lesions. The Scoreflex NC device is a focused force dual-wire balloon system that facilitates controlled plaque modification with strength and accuracy.

According to OrbusNeich, Scoreflex NC is designed to help interventional cardiologists manage increasingly complex cases. The device features robust material to handle resistant and calcified lesions while maintaining a low crossing profile. Other key features include a continuous metal construction from hub to tip for pushability, a tri-zone tip for the smooth crossing of lesions, and a lubricious coating to reduce friction. It is recommended for use in lesion preparation, ostial lesions, calcified and fibrotic lesions, long diffuse disease, and in-stent restenosis, advised OrbusNeich.
