The SoundBite® Active Wire 14P which is part of the SoundBite® Crossing System - Peripheral (14P) is supplied sterile, has a maximum outer diameter of 0.014” in its usable length (145 cm) and is 300 cm long. Only the distal 145 cm of the SoundBite® Active Wire 14P is ever in contact with patient vasculature. At the proximal end of the SoundBite® Active Wire 14P, a section reducer allows the wire to be connected to the SoundBite® Console.

The SoundBite® Console generates controlled high-amplitude short-duration mechanical pulses (i.e., shock waves) which are transmitted to a connected SoundBite® Active Wire 14P and cause the distal tip of the active wire to move back and forth (axially), acting like a micro-jackhammer. After the passage of each pulse, the tip goes back to its original position.
