Flextome Cutting Balloon Device Over-the-Wire Delivery System, Coronary Atherotomy System, Over-the-Wire Delivery System, Catalog No. CB0340006, 4.00mm, Sterile. Made in Ireland . The Flextome Cutting Balloon Device consists of a balloon with 3 or 4 atherotomes (microsurgical blades) mounted longitudinally on its outer surface. When the Flextome Cutting Balloon Device is inflated, the atherotomes score the plaque, creating initiation sites for crack propagation. This process, referred to as Atherotomy, allows dilation of the target lesion with less pressure. Indicated for dilatation of stenoses in coronary arteries for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion in those circumstances where a high pressure balloon resistant lesion is encountered, Recall # Z-0621-2009
