Abbott Launches VOYAGER™ NC coronary balloon catheter

"Abbott today announced the launch of VOYAGER™ NC Coronary Dilatation Catheter, a next-generation balloon dilatation catheter with high-pressure capability designed to optimize the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease during angioplasty procedures. VOYAGER NC is now available in the United States, Europe and select countries in Asia and Latin America. Featuring Abbott's proprietary technology, the new VOYAGER NC system can be used for both pre-dilatation and post-dilatation procedures. Physicians can use VOYAGER NC to navigate tortuous anatomy and open up lesions before a stent is delivered, or expand a stent more precisely against the vessel wall after it is implanted" - Abbott
