The Covellus Solution

Using the Modular Architecture, we have reimagined the idea of balloon catheter solutions for peripheral arterial and venous interventions and hemodialysis dysfunction. IDK… maybe some of the language about how it is more than an .035″ solutions… its all these other solutions 018 RX cutting, DCB

Empowering Physicians to Elevate Procedure Performance

The basic features of the Covellus Modular System consist of two modules — a parent catheter that can have any features of a conventional unitary catheter and a distal adapter that has its own set of independent features. The universal interface couples the two modules together and seamlessly functions like a conventional unitary catheter product without the historical drawbacks.

Modular Transcatheter Design Provides Adaptability

The universal interface can be fitted with a number of distal adaptors to perform a variety of PTA procedure requirements:

  • Tip and Wire Reducer — Facilitates the use of smaller guidewires. (Converts .035″ to .018″ or .014″ with taper)
  • Robust Crossing Tip — Adds features of a crossing catheter to PTA catheters
  • 2-Wire / Monorail — Adds Monorail style, rapid exchange (RX) capability to OTW PTA catheters
  • Funnel (GW capture) — Adds a funnel to the distal end of balloons to facilitate guidewire (GW) capture, through and through GW access
  • Funnel (Thrombectomy) — Adds a funnel to the distal end of balloons for thrombectomy/aspiration features
  • Scoring/Cutting — Adds scoring/cutting wires to PTA balloons
  • Steering — Adds articulating tip to PTA balloons
  • Re-entry — Adds features of a re-entry catheter to balloons
  • Drug Delivery — Adds anti-restenotic drug (Paclitaxel) delivery fiber mesh to any size balloon
  • Imaging/IVUS — Adds advanced imaging capability to balloons or stent delivery systems

In addition, the modular design allows combining two therapies, e.g., balloon angioplasty with drug delivery, scoring and cutting to a PTA balloon, or advanced imaging for stent placement.

The result is workflow optimization — catheter solutions at your fingertips with less waiting and more time focused on patient care. Overall the Covellus modular solution saves time, reduces frustration, minimizes table chaos, and frees time for treating patients.

Simple Universal Connector System for Structural, Diagnostic, and Therapeutic Applications

The Covellus Modular PTA Balloon System is only the beginning

The Covellus architecture is the novel universal interface attachment mechanism that couples the two modules together and is broadly compatible with any .035” catheter. The agile modular approach not only allows new ways of thinking about PTA interventions but also offers potentially unlimited options for extending applications for any endovascular or other catheter interventions that build upon a manufacturer’s existing catheter technology. Adopting the Covellus modular approach may inspire technique innovations or custom catheter solutions for a wide array of catheter applications while reducing reliance on high-priced specialty catheters.

The result is the potential for the rapid introduction of more innovative techniques and products for many critical care areas.
