Interventional technology developer Hotspur Technologies said that interventional radiologists at Lifelink Interventional Center in Modesto, CA, have completed the first commercial deployment of its GPSCath balloon dilatation catheter in the U.S.
A two-in-one device, GPSCath allows multiple vascular procedures to be performed with one catheter, according to the Mountain View, CA-based firm. Using GPSCath, physicians can perform high-pressure angioplasty and inject fluids such as contrast while maintaining guidewire position, Hotspur said.
