Reflow Medical Introduces Spex LP Shapeable Reinforced Support Catheter
January 13, 2021—Reflow Medical, Inc. announced the introduction of the company’s low-profile Spex LP 0.014 and 0.018-inch reinforced support catheters.
According to the company, the Spex LP is designed with a low-profile tip for accessing and crossing the tightest and most complex lesions with a supportive system. The customizable tip can be shaped to the desired angle and is compatible with the physician’s choice of guidewire and procedural technique. The device also features three radiopaque markers that enhance visibility on imaging. Additionally, the Spex LP can be combined with Reflow’s Spex 35 for more robust support, noted the company.
“Using the new Spex LP with the Spex 35 creates a telescoping action for extra support,” commented S. Jay Mathews, MD, in the company’s press release. Dr. Mathews, who is one of the first physicians to use the Spex LP, is from Bradenton Cardiology Center in Bradenton, Florida.
Jihad A. Mustapha, MD, added, “The Spex LP has an extremely low lesion-entry profile and provides unmatched flexibility and trackability, especially in difficult cases.” Dr. Mustapha is Director, Endovascular Interventions at Advanced Cardiac & Vascular Centers for Amputation Prevention in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
