spexLP is an extremely low-profile, shapeable support catheter designed to help physicians reach the most challenging peripheral vascular anatomies, particularly when treating critical limb ischemia (CLI). The catheter features a robust yet flexible design that enables effective lesion crossing while providing excellent support and visibility during the procedure. spexLP has a hydrophilic coating for improved lubricity, three markers for precise positioning, and a shapeable tip that the physician can adjust as needed. This single-use device is available in a range of sizes and lengths to suit a variety of clinical scenarios.
Developed by Reflow Medical, spexLP is the lowest-profile reinforced support catheter designed to improve and secure vascular access. It is engineered to help physicians reach and cross the most challenging lesions, particularly when treating critical limb ischemia (CLI).
