PRECISE

Protective of the vessel wall3-8

  • Performs targeted biological reactions to address risks of perforations
  • Wavelength produces a photon energy that’s hard on calcium and soft on vessel walls
  • Vaporizes lesions without thermal ablation
  • Built in aspiration† addresses risk of embolization

The science

Powerful. And precise.

The Auryon System is designed to deliver an optimized wavelength, pulse width, and amplitude to remove calcified lesions while preserving vessel wall endothelium.3,4,8

Wavelength, pulse width, and amplitude image
Wavelength (nm)
The distance between 2 successive waves determines absorption rate and penetration depth
Pulse width (ns)
The duration of each pulse determines levels of diffusion
Amplitude (mJ/mm2)
The height of the wave determines power
Wavelength icon

Why wavelength matters9-12

  • Each type of tissue interacts differently with a given wavelength
  • To initiate a photochemical effect, the photon energy of the beam must be higher than the dissociation energy of the target molecular bond
  • Longer wavelengths are absorbed at shallower depths than shorter wavelengths, resulting in lower photon energies
The Auryon System produces a photon energy of 3.5 eV, which is low enough to be nonreactive to vessel endothelium, but high enough to vaporize calcium.4,8
Pulse icon

Why pulse width and amplitude matter9,11,13,14

  • To localize the effects to the target tissue without thermal damage, the energy delivered needs to be faster than the time it takes for the heat to diffuse
  • As the type of plaque progresses from visible intimal thickening to hard, the amplitude (power) needed to ablate increases
  • Greater amplitude is achieved with shorter pulses, which can deposit energy before thermal diffusion occurs
The Auryon System has a pulse width of 10 to 25 ns, ensuring enough power to target the lesion and spare the vessel.3

How the Auryon System combines power and precision

The precision of 355-nm wavelength4,5

  • 3x higher affinity for lesion tissue vs vessel endothelium, giving you the ability to ablate the lesion while preserving vessel endothelium
  • Nonreactive to contrast media, allowing you to simultaneously debulk lesions and monitor fluoroscopy images

Power to debulk any type of lesion (from thrombotic to severely calcified)3,8

  • 10- to 25-ns pulse width with 40-Hz amplitude allows for high power output, resulting in calcium debulking
  • Plasma formation results in vaporization of lesion tissue without thermal ablation

Efficient ablation

A shorter pulse is efficient at material removal by delivering more of the total energy above the biological threshold.14
