Jetstream

The Jetstream™ Atherectomy System from Boston Scientific is a peripheral atherectomy device designed to remove plaque and thrombus from arteries, restoring blood flow in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Its unique combination of cutting and aspiration sets it apart. Here's a breakdown of its key features and USPs:   Key Features and USPs: Atherectomy with Active Aspiration: - The Jetstream system uses a rotating cutting tip to break down plaque and thrombus. Simultaneously, it actively aspirates (suctions) the debris, removing it from the vessel. This dual action is a core differentiator.   - This aspiration feature greatly reduces the risk of distal embolization, a significant concern in many atherectomy procedures. Thrombus Removal: - Unlike some atherectomy devices primarily focused on calcified plaque, the Jetstream system is effective in removing thrombus (blood clots) as well. This versatility is crucial in treating patients with acute or subacute limb ischemia.   Versatility in Lesion Types: - The Jetstream system can address a wide range of lesion types, including calcified plaque, fibrous plaque, and thrombus, making it a versatile tool for PAD treatment.   Reduced Distal Embolization: - The active aspiration system is a huge benefit to this device. By removing the debris as it is created, the risk of blocking vessels further down stream is greatly reduced.   Variety of Catheter Sizes: - Boston scientific has created different catheter sizes, to allow for the device to be used in a variety of vessel sizes.   Clinical Data: - The Jetstream system is supported by clinical data demonstrating its safety and effectiveness in treating PAD.   In essence, the Jetstream system's strength lies in its ability to effectively remove a variety of lesion types while minimizing the risk of distal embolization, offering a comprehensive solution for PAD treatment.
