Motors for Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment

Maintaining proper blood flow is critical for tissue oxygenation. When blood flow is obstructed, discomfort, loss of limbs and even death can occur. Peripheral artery disease is a circulatory problem where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. This is often caused by a build-up of fatty deposits on your artery walls, which must be reduced or removed by a procedure to restore proper blood flow. Orbital and rotational atherectomy procedures cut or grind away calcified plaque to restore blood flow in obstructed vessels. Atherectomy devices utilize different motion approaches for grinding or cutting, but the key requirement is a reliable, high-speed motor. The 16 mm Ultra EC Brushless DC motor provides unparalleled speed and power density to meet the demanding application requirements of Atherectomy devices.
