SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reflow Medical, Inc., a California-based medical device company, has announced that they have received clearance from the FDA for an expanded indication for the Wingman™ Crossing Catheter after completing the Wing-IT clinical trial. The Wingman Catheter crosses peripheral CTOs using an extendable beveled tip that creates a channel to help penetrate, or cross, the occlusion with a guidewire, enabling further treatment of the lesion with therapeutic devices.
The Wing-IT CTO clinical trial was a prospective, international, multicenter study that treated 85 patients and followed them for 30 days. The Wingman Catheter was able to demonstrate a 90% crossing rate when up to two previous guidewires could not cross these challenging lesions, meeting its primary safety and efficacy endpoints. These clinical trial results have garnered positive feedback in the physician community.
“With this expanded indication, physicians gain the ability to cross (CTOs) in peripheral lesions with a simple and very effective device,” according to John R. Laird, MD, of Adventist Heart and Vascular Institute in St. Helena, California. Dr. Laird was the principal investigator for the study.
