SPEX is a shapeable catheter designed to improve and secure vascular access. It allows the physician to shape the desired catheter angle, maintaining it throughout the procedure. The catheter is compatible with a variety of guidewires and procedural techniques, and also features a hydrophilic coating. It is intended for the treatment of peripheral artery disease and can be used together with other Reflow Medical devices.
