FastWave Medical develops next-generation intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) systems designed to treat calcific artery disease. Their platforms offer advanced balloon catheter technology for both peripheral artery disease and coronary artery disease interventions. These systems provide interventionalists with predictable sonic output and enhanced procedural feedback for calcium modification.

Problem
Calcific artery disease restricts the ability to effectively treat coronary arteries, as severely calcified arteries are difficult to traverse with standard devices. Current balloon catheter platforms may lack real-time feedback and optimal energy delivery, limiting the effectiveness of interventions.
Solution
FastWave Medical is developing intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) systems designed to address the challenges of calcific artery disease. Their balloon catheter platform aims to improve the effectiveness of interventions through enhanced energy delivery and real-time procedural feedback. The system features a reduced crossing profile and optimized shaft for better trackability, along with a rupture-resistant design. FastWave's IVL technology delivers consistent sonic output with increased pulse availability, simplifying the procedure with hands-free energy delivery and an improved generator UI.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons who treat patients with calcific artery disease.
