The PolarCath® Peripheral Dilatation Device

The choice for first line treatment, with clinical results you can rely on.

The PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System delivers cryo therapy and is designed to initiate both mechanical and biological responses to produce beneficial vascular effects. CryoPlasty® Therapy, through the use of the PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System, combines a unique application of cold therapy with angioplasty for the results you want now and the options you may need later.

Key Benefits of PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System

• Proven clinical performance in two prospective multi-center clinical trials in femoropopliteal claudicants (PVD CHILL, N=102) and in infrapopliteal critical limb ischemia (CLI) patients (BTK CHILL, N=108)^1,2,3
• Low flow-limiting dissection rates of 6.9% (PVD CHILL) and 0.9% (BTK CHILL) as demonstrated in prospective multi-center clinical trials^1,2
• Extensive number of 0.014" and 0.035" catheters up to 100mm in length to meet needs of most clinical situations (88 codes)

Pre-Intervention		Post-Intervention
	Distal lower extremity angiogram shows diffuse peroneal artery and occluded posterior and anterior tibial arteries.		Proximal posterior tibial artery after CryoPlasty Therapy shows widely patent artery.
	Distal angiogram of left foot shows reconstruction of posterior tibial artery by collaterals at the foot, filling the pedal arch.		Distal angiogram shows direct in-line flow to the foot by the newly recanalized posterior tibial artery, post CryoPlasty Therapy.

Lower Extremity Applications         Superficial femoral artery (SFA)/profunda bifurcation Adductor canal Popliteal vessels Infrapopliteal vessels

The PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System is indicated for peripheral lesions in the lower extremities that are otherwise difficult to treat.
