VASCULAR SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES 510(K) CLEARANCE OF

NEW 023 VERSION OF THE TWIN-PASS DUAL ACCESS CATHETER

 

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota -- Vascular Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:VASC) today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to launch the new 023 version of its Twin-Pass® dual access catheter. The original Twin-Pass catheter was launched in January 2006 as a two lumen catheter designed to be used in conjunction with steerable guidewires to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature. The new 023 version features a larger 0.023” lumen that allows the Twin-Pass 023 catheter to measure intra-arterial pressures and deliver specialty guidewires into the distal vasculature. Vascular Solutions plans to launch the Twin-Pass 023 catheter through its direct U.S. sales force immediately.

 

“Our original Twin-Pass catheter has performed very well in its first year on the market, both clinically and in terms of increasing sales,” commented Howard Root, Chief Executive Officer of Vascular Solutions. “With the launch of the original version, though, customers quickly saw additional clinical needs for a low profile two lumen catheter. The addition of our new 023 version is in response to these requests, with a larger inner diameter in the 023 version that allows it to quickly measure intra-arterial pressures and deliver specially-shaped guidewires. The launch of the Twin-Pass 023, combined with the previously announced launch of our InnerChange micro-introducer catheter, further demonstrates Vascular Solutions’ strategy of focusing on underserved clinical opportunities and developing unique solutions,” Mr. Root added.
