NIC Nano Hydro is the World’s smallest Non-compliant CTO Balloon with a diameter of 0.85 mm and an Ultra -low Crossing Profile of 0.019”. NIC Nano Hydro is a CE Marked access device engineered to successfully cross through Balloon Uncrossable lesions. The combination of an Ultra-low Profile, Excellent Trackability and Hydrophilic Coating are key to a successful treatment of tightest lesions and CTO’s.
THE ULTIMATE TOOL IN YOUR CTO ARMAMENTARIUM
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Successful treatment CTO’s (Chronical Total Occlusions).
The balloon of choice to gain access for Plaque Modification Devices in challenging lesions.
OPN NC is a unique Swiss made CE Marked Plaque Modification Device designed to perform in all complex lesions at Ultra-High Pressures. OPN NC utilizes Ultra-High Pressures to cause Calcium fracture or oppose Calcium to arterial wall.OPN NC is designed with a dual layer technology to withstand Ultra-High Pressures which leads to uniform expansion even at pressures as high as 45 Bars.
DESIGNED TO PERFORM IN ALL COMPLEX LESION SUBSETS
LINEAR COMPLIANCE AND UNIFORM EXPANSION
OPN NC grows less than 10 % until the Rated Burst Pressure of 35 Bars
OPN NC has a Uniform Expansion at pressure of 45 Bars as well, with no Dog Boning seen
OPN NC causes minimal perforations and no edge dissections
INDICATIONS FOR USE
For Plaque Modification in moderate to severely calcified lesions
In combination with Rotablation for large vessel diameters
Successful treatment of ISRs
DES Under Expansion due to severe calcification
Neo atherosclerosis with Calcification
Two layers of DES in combination with DEb
ISR CTo
1.5 mm smallest non compliant balloon for severely calcified coronary arteries
TIPS AND TRICKS: REMEMBER WHILE USING OPN NC
Avoid Polymer Sleeve wires and Use Extra Support Guidewires for accessing the lesions
For Pre Dilatation /treatment of DES ISR use 0.5 mm lesser diameter balloon than the Reference Vessel Diameter
For Post Dilatation 1:1 Balloon to Vessel ratio is recommended
Slow increment of pressures ( above 20 atm, increase progressively , approx. 5 atm/ 10-20 sec) for adequate luminal gain
Allow Balloon “to work/ deploy”(slight decrease in pressure due to expansion of the balloon) before increasing the pressure
Remember to De-air the Balloon and choose the correct size for optimal results at Ultra High Pressures.
OPN ID (Ultra High Pressure Inflation Device)
*OPN NC should be used with OPN ID (Swiss made Inflation Device) with a working limit of 55 ATM for optimum utilisation of the device
