Rotablator

The Rotablator is a medical device used during heart procedures to treat narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. It works like a tiny, high-speed drill with a rotating diamond-coated tip that gently files away hard, calcified deposits that traditional balloon angioplasty can't effectively remove. This improves blood flow to the heart muscle. The device is precisely controlled by the doctor and is used to make the artery walls smoother, helping subsequent treatments like balloon angioplasty or stent placement work better. Overall, the Rotablator helps restore adequate blood flow and reduces the risk of future heart problems.
