A coronary angioplasty cutting or scoring balloon catheter is a specialized medical tool used during heart procedures to open narrowed or blocked arteries. By combining a distensible balloon with integrated metal elements, these devices dilate the vessel while simultaneously modifying or scoring the plaque to improve blood flow to the heart muscle.
These devices are supplied as sterile, single-use instruments that are guided into position through the vascular system using specialized catheters and wires. They are constructed from a combination of flexible polymers and metallic components designed to perform precise interventions within the coronary anatomy.
