Baylis Launches PowerWire Pro RF Guidewire
March 18, 2024—Baylis Medical Technologies Inc. announced FDA 510(k) clearance of the PowerWire Pro radiofrequency (RF) guidewire for facilitating venous stent recanalization for total occlusions. The company advised it has launched the device in the United States.
According to the company, the PowerWire Pro RF guidewire is designed to address the challenge of reocclusion by employing RF technology to cross totally occluded stents in peripheral vessels. The device allows selective application of RF energy to cross segments of the occlusion that cannot be traversed mechanically. When contacting metal, the RF energy terminates, reducing the potential for vessel extravasation when crossing in-stent occlusions.
