Orthopedic Applications
The aging population is increasingly experiencing wear on their joints. To address the rapidly growing demand in areas such as trauma and fusion, sports medicine, and joint reconstruction, improvements in available treatments and technologies are essential.
Vascular Applications
50% of men and 30% of women are estimated to develop coronary artery disease (CAD) at some point in their life.* Challenges in treating CAD include navigation, crossing tough, often calcific lesions, minimizing vessel damage, and durability of therapy.
