Surmodics is headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The Company mission remains to improve the detection and treatment of disease. This key growth strategy leverages the combination of the Company’s expertise in proprietary surface technologies, along with enhanced device design, development, and manufacturing capabilities. Surmodics is pursuing highly differentiated medical devices that are designed to address unmet clinical needs and engineered to the most demanding requirements. Surmodics is the global leader in surface modification technologies for intravascular medical devices and a leading provider of chemical components for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) immunoassay tests and microarrays. Its proprietary reinforced shaft technology with flexible, kink-resistant construction and a tapered RX port transition are designed for optimal trackability and push through distal tortuosity. The Sublime 0.014 RX PTA Dilatation Catheter is compatible with a 5 Fr guide sheath and is designed to provide the performance of an over-the-wire PTA catheter in an RX platform. 1 Although transradial access has become a mainstream technique in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), it has been less widely adopted in peripheral interventions due to the limited availability of purpose-designed access and therapeutic devices. Radial access offers many benefits relative to femoral access including reduced puncture site bleeding complications, earlier ambulation, reduced length of hospital stay, and lower healthcare costs. “The continued expansion of our Sublime Radial Access Platform demonstrates our commitment to developing the transradial peripheral market space through the introduction of longer, lower-profile devices that fill unmet physician and patient needs.” “FDA 510(k) approval of the Sublime Radial Access 0.014 RX PTA Dilatation Catheter is another step forward in our strategy to become a provider of whole-product vascular solutions through the design, development and manufacturing of highly differentiated products,” said Gary Maharaj, Surmodics President and CEO. The product joins the previously cleared Sublime Radial Guide Sheath within the company’s Sublime Radial Access Platform and is designed to facilitate radial access for the treatment of above- or below-the-knee arteries. Outer balloon diameters range from 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm with balloon lengths between 20 mm and 220 mm. The Sublime Radial Access 0.014 RX PTA Catheter allows below-the-knee access through a transradial approach by providing the longest working length (250 cm) on the market. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its Sublime™ Radial Access 0.014 Rapid Exchange (RX) Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) Dilatation Catheter.
