APPLIED ACUCISE® RP35 DEVICE
Acucise® Systems
 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Acucise device is a retrograde endopyelotomy device containing a monopolar electrosurgical cutting wire and a low-pressure tamponade balloon. The balloon serves to define the area of stenosis, deliver the wire to the tissue to be incised and tamponade post incision. The catheter body is 6F and the through-lumen accommodates up to a 0.035” guidewire, leaving room for delivery of contrast for a retrograde pyelogram.
