Orbital Atherectomy System

An Orbital Atherectomy System is a medical device used to treat narrowed or blocked arteries caused by plaque buildup, often in the legs or arms. It works by gently sanding or grinding away the hardened plaque while preserving the surrounding healthy vessel walls. The device uses a small, diamond-coated crown that spins rapidly in an orbital motion, removing the plaque effectively and recreating a clear pathway for blood flow. This minimally invasive procedure helps improve circulation and reduce symptoms like pain or risk of limb loss, often as an alternative to more invasive surgery.
