Medtronic is launching in the U.S. its Fortex*percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheter. The over-the-wire device features a high-pressure balloon capable of breaking up some of the toughest build-up to provide access*into the peripheral vasculature to be able to perform hemodialysis.

The Fortex has a low profile tip and a flexible shaft that let it stay close to the guidewire, making it easy to pass through difficult vasculature.

The balloon will maintain its shape when within the rated burst pressure, guaranteeing the vessel will stay open during hemodialysis*treatment.
