For slippery and calcifjed lesions
In vitro tests show that GRIPTM remains stable in the lesion while workhorse balloons slip at pressure above 10atm

Treatment of intra-stent restenosis, heavily calcifjed lesions , stent post-dilation
For an efgectjve & safe dilatjon of the stenosis
At the stent margins of ISR & delicate areas (bifurcatjons, ostjal & short calcifjed lesions)
4 lines of knobs anchor the balloon to the lesion

Ordering informatjon
“About 80% of all restenotjc lesions
are focal…they are very slippery
lesions, very hard” “About 100% of all restenotjc lesions are treated [here] with the GRIP
balloon”
“The use of GRIP balloon with its special knobs […] gives the opportunity to stabilize very nicely the balloon within the restenotjc lesion and to give enough pressure on
this restenotjc lesion”
“The GRIP balloon […] has a very nice crossing profjle, that’s very important in
restenotjc lesions”
