Product and Technology

The PROTEUS™ device has been developed by Angioslide for use in lower limb angioplasty.

What is the PROTEUS™ device?

PROTEUS is a stand-alone angioplasty device that uniquely combines the dual functionality of balloon angioplasty and embolic capture features. PROTEUS is indicated for lower limb arteries: femoral, iliac, ilio-femoral, popliteal, tibial, peroneal and profunda. It is first of its kind to receive FDA clearance for lower limb percutaneous angioplasty. 

2-in-1 - How does the PROTEUS™ device work?

PROTEUS works just like an angioplasty balloon with the same physical and behavioral characteristics, such as inflation time, deflation time, pushability, and crossing profile. In addition, PROTEUS has a unique feature that enables the capture and retrieval of debris released from the plaque following the balloon angioplasty.
After inflation, the device folds inwards, creating a natural negative pressure that drives debris particles into the PROTEUS device lumen. As it is deflated and removed, it removes the captured debris from the body.

How it Works

PROTEUS™ is a standalone angioplasty device that does not require the use of additional disposables, making it uniquely cost-effective.  

PROTEUS™ - Clinical Evidence

A multi-center trial (MC-LEADER), conducted at renowned international centers, demonstrated that the PROTEUS  is an effective angioplasty device that captures and retrieve embolic debris in every procedure.
