The Auryon System provides a single, laser-based atherectomy device for treating all peripheral arterial disease lesion types, including in-stent restenosis, across the infrainguinal vasculature. Its technology selectively ablates calcified lesions while preserving vessel endothelium, with integrated aspiration to reduce embolization risk.

Problem
Treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD) often requires multiple devices for different lesion types and locations, complicating procedures and increasing the risk of distal embolization. This necessitates a more streamlined and adaptable atherectomy solution.
Solution
The Auryon System offers a single, advanced peripheral atherectomy device designed to address all lesion types, including in-stent restenosis (ISR), across the infrainguinal vasculature, both above and below the knee. Its laser-based technology utilizes a specific wavelength and pulse width to selectively ablate calcified lesions while preserving vessel endothelium. The system incorporates built-in aspiration capabilities in select catheters to mitigate the risk of embolization, providing clinicians with a versatile tool for comprehensive PAD management.
Target Audience
The Auryon System is intended for interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional radiologists performing peripheral endovascular interventions.
Features
- Single atherectomy device indicated for all lesion types, including ISR, in the infrainguinal arteries.
- Catheter options available for treating lesions above and below the knee, including below the ankle, with reference vessel diameters from 1.4 mm to 3.6 mm.
- Utilizes a 355 nm wavelength laser with a 10-25 ns pulse width for selective tissue ablation and vessel wall preservation.
- Features an off-centering mechanism in the 2.35-mm catheter for treating eccentric lesions.
- Built-in aspiration capability in 2.0-mm and 2.35-mm catheters to reduce embolization risk.
- Operates over a standard 0.014-inch guidewire, with specific catheters also compatible with 0.018-inch guidewires.
- Intuitive touchscreen interface, portable design with a small footprint, and operation from a standard 110V outlet.
- Nonreactive to contrast media, allowing for simultaneous ablation and fluoroscopic imaging.
