Coat Drug-Coated Balloon
Coat Drug-Coated Balloon – Ultrasonic Nozzle – Cheersonic
Drug-Coated Balloon angioplasty is similar to plain old balloon angioplasty procedurally, but there is the addition of an anti-proliferative medication coating the balloon, as well as an excipient to aid in drug transfer, which may help prevent restenosis. Restenosis is the re-narrowing of the vessel at a site that was previously treated. Using a drug-coated balloon has the potential to prohibit cell division, limiting the amount of restenosis, or blockage re-growth after treatment.
Ultrasonic Balloon Catheter Coating System is suited to coating high pressure medical balloons with drug eluting polymers such as Paclitaxel and other bioabsorbable drugs for dilation procedures including coronary angioplasty or stent delivery applications.
The Balloon Catheter Coating System is a fully enclosed, sealed glovebox unit designed to coat common sizes and types of balloon catheters using Cheersonic ultrasonic nozzles combined with our UAM7000 precision air shaping systems. The spray pattern diameter and drop size are variable, depending upon the nozzle and air shaping system used. A proprietary holding device secures both ends of the catheter while rotational motors spin the catheter for 360Ocoverage of the entire balloon surface. The ultrasonic nozzle traverses across the catheter as required to coat desired lengths. The system includes controls for air flow rate, air pressure as well as continuous digital metering of humidity and temperature.
