LeMaitre Launches Three Peripheral Vascular Devices
June 19, 2013—LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (Burlington, MA) announced the recent launch of three peripheral vascular devices. The AlboSure vascular patch was launched June 18; the 1.5-mm expandable LeMaitre valvulotome was launched April 29; and the MultiTasc dissection/transection device was launched on March 27.
According to LeMaitre Vascular, the AlboSure Patch is a polyester alternative to the company's XenoSure biologic vascular patch. Both patch platforms are used primarily during carotid endarterectomy surgery. The 1.5-mm expandable LeMaitre valvulotome is the 7th generation of the company's device for in situ bypass. The smaller size allows for more effective valve cutting in smaller vessels, while reducing potential damage to fragile vein walls. The MultiTasc remote endarterectomy device dissects and transects arterial plaque in a single pass, reducing procedure times and complications, the company stated.
