Diamondback 360° PAD System

A Single Answer to a Complex Disease

The Diamondback 360® PAD System is a minimally invasive catheter-based platform capable of treating a broad range of plaque types in peripheral arteries both above and below the knee and addresses many of the limitations associated with existing treatment alternatives.

 

Ability toTreat Hip to Toes

Multiple crown configurations, including a lighter weight Classic Crown and a heavier weight Solid Crown with sizes ranging from 1.25 to 2.25 mm, provide versatility for treating a variety of lesions, including:

  • Above the knee, popliteal and below the knee lesions (including below the ankle)
  • Diffuse, complex disease and non-compliant plaque morphologies, including fibrotic and calcified
  • Chronic total occlusions (intraluminal passage of wire needed)
  • Ostial lesions and tortuous sections
  • Single vessel run-off
  • No-stent zones

 

A Unique Mechanism of Action

The Diamondback 360° PAD System operates on the priniciples of centrifugal force. Centrifugal force (crown mass X orbital speed2 /orbit radius) causes the crown to orbit while advancing through the lesion. As the crown rotation increases, centrifugal force presses the crown against the plaque and sands it into tiny particles with each orbit. More than 99% of the particles (99% CI) are smaller than a red blood cell and they are washed away with the patient’s blood flow.

 

Intelligent Differential Sanding

As the diamond-coated crown orbits within the vessel using centrifugal force, the crown presses against and sands away the hardened plaque, while the elastic, more compliant tissue flexes away from the crown and leaves the non-diseased tissue intact. By removing the hardened plaque and changing the compliance of the lesion with the Diamondback 360° first, low-pressure balloon angioplasty can be used to finish the procedure, which may reduce the potential for barotrauma to the vessel. The result of the procedure is a smooth, concentric and open vessel that appears to be a normal size and allows robust blood flow.
