Designed to Cross
The Glider™ PTCA Balloon Catheter is the only torqueable angioplasty balloon catheter. Combined with its unique balloon shape and state of the art tip technology, the Glider™ is designed to cross through tight lesions and stent struts even in conditions where other balloons are challenged. The unique design of the Glider™ provides physicians with a powerful tool in managing the treatment of a broad range of complex lesions such as bifurcations and tight stenoses.
