1. Design & Technical Profile

This is a semi‑compliant balloon catheter built on Boston Scientific’s APEX platform, featuring a 2.75 mm diameter and a 12 mm length, delivered via a Monorail (rapid-exchange) system. It utilizes the OptiLEAP™ balloon material and platinum–iridium marker bands for enhanced visibility during fluoroscopic guidance. At approximately 142 cm in insertion length, it’s ideal for navigating through coronary anatomy to reach stenotic lesions with precision.

2. Performance & Engineering

APEX catheters employ innovative Bi‑Segment™ inner shaft technology, combining stiff proximal support with flexible distal navigation. The Monorail variant (as used here) includes TruFeel™ hypotube construction for improved kink resistance and balanced pushability vs trackability. In bench testing, the overall APEX family has demonstrated 16–35% greater push force and 27–35% improved tip flexibility compared to earlier Maverick models, translating into smoother crossing and lesion dilation.

3. Clinical Use & Advantages

Indicated for pre- and post-dilation of coronary artery stenoses and graft lesions, this catheter aligns with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) workflows. Its semi-compliant balloon conforms to vessel shape under inflation, helping to dilate hardened plaques while reducing vessel trauma. With superior imaging markers, kink resistance, and optimized handling, it supports accurate, controlled deployment—particularly useful in complex and tortuous anatomies.
