Boston Scientific has debuted Mustang, a 0.035-inch percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) catheter suitable for a range of peripheral angioplasty procedures.
Mustang is a low-profile, high-pressure balloon catheter that is the first to use the firm's NyBax balloon material, a proprietary coextrusion of nylon and Pebax polymers. It has rated burst pressure up to 24 atmospheres and is the only 7 x 200-mm balloon compatible with a 5-French introducer sheath, according to the vendor.
Mustang is available in 203 sizes. Boston Scientific is launching Mustang immediately in the U.S., Europe, and other international markets.
