QT Vascular

QT Vascular: Obtained patent in Singapore for a “balloon catheter with improved column strength and torque”, used in its GliderXtreme PTA balloon catheter. GliderXtreme PTA is part of group's Glider family of PTA and PTCA products which combines a torque-able shaft and a skived tip. In addition, it also has an additional unique “slide-lock” feature, which provides for a low profile shaft with double the column strength, compared to a conventional PTA balloon catheter. The product provides exceptional pushability and crossability for treating long, tight and diffuse peripheral lesions. GliderXtreme PTA balloon catheter also has regulatory clearance in Japan and China. Management believes that along with the Glider PTCA balloon catheter, sales of GliderXtreme PTA in Asia are expected to add to company growth in the region in 2015.
