Shockwave Medical’s Peripheral Lithoplasty System received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the peripheral vasculature, including the iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, infra-popliteal, and renal arteries. Not intended for use in the coronary or cerebral vasculature.

The Coronary Lithoplasty System is an investigational device and is not available for sale.

About Shockwave Medical’s Peripheral Lithoplasty® Systems

The Lithoplasty System integrates the calcium-disrupting power of lithotripsy with the familiarity and simplicity of angioplasty balloon-based devices. Built on a balloon catheter platform, the Shockwave Medical Lithoplasty System uses lithotripsy to disrupt both superficial and deep vascular calcium, while minimizing soft tissue injury, and an integrated angioplasty balloon to dilate blockages at low pressures, restoring blood flow. The Peripheral Lithoplasty System is commercially available in the European Union and the United States for treatment of peripheral vascular disease.
