Maquet to Distribute ReFlow Medical's Catheters in the United States
December 15, 2015—Maquet Medical Systems USA announced an exclusive United States distribution agreement with ReFlow Medical, Inc. to distribute their complete line of catheters. Maquet will begin distributing the products during the first quarter of 2016.
According to the company, the agreement includes ReFlow Medical’s Wingman crossing catheters (Wingman14, Wingman18, Wingman35) and the Spex shapeable support catheter, which are cleared for use in conjunction with steerable guidewires to access discrete regions of the peripheral vasculature. The devices may be used to facilitate placement and exchange of guidewires and other interventional devices and provide a conduit for the delivery of saline solutions or diagnostic/therapeutic agents.
The Wingman crossing catheters feature an extendable bevel tip and are used in conjunction with steerable guidewires of the physician’s choice to access discrete regions of the peripheral vasculature and enable rapid, routine, off-the-shelf lesion crossing. The Spex shapeable support catheter with its shapeable tip option is the only support catheter that retains its shape and allows physicians to reshape as needed in order to rapidly adjust to the specific needs of each case and each patient, stated Maquet.
