Shockwave Medical, Inc. M5IVL5560 Shockwave M5

The Shockwave M5 Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) Catheter consists of an array of miniaturized lithotripsy emitters, located inside a balloon, that generate acoustic pressure waves within the target treatment site, disrupting calcium within the lesion and allowing subsequent dilation of a peripheral artery stenosis using low balloon pressure. Two radiopaque marker bands inside the balloon aid in positioning. The proximal hub has three ports: one for inflation/deflation of the balloon with 50/50 saline/contrast medium, one for the ‘Over-the-wire’ (OTW) guidewire lumen, and one for connection to the IVL Connector Cable (and IVL Generator).
