Shanghai-based medical device giant MicroPort Scientific Corp. (HKG: 0853) has announced receiving marketing approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for its FireRaptor coronary rotational atherectomy system. The system includes a rotational atherectomy instrument, disposable coronary artery rotational atherectomy catheter, and rotational atherectomy guide wire.
First-Homegrown Coronary Rotational Atherectomy System
The FireRaptor system, the first domestically developed coronary rotational atherectomy system in China, offers a new option for the pre-treatment of moderate to severe calcified lesions. This national innovative medical device is designed with an eccentric structure of the rotary grinding head, which allows for the adjustment of centrifugal force by changing the speed, thereby controlling the rotary grinding diameter. This feature reduces the need for surgical instrument replacements and achieves a better lumen modification effect.
Enhanced Safety and Efficacy
The entire surface of the grinding head is covered with diamonds, enabling bi-directional rotational grinding in the axial direction. This design reduces the risk of grinding head misalignment, enhancing both the safety and efficacy of the procedure.-Fineline Info & Tech
