The company noted with the new system, contralateral gate access can be achieved either by retrograde cannulation or through a new, built-in crossover lumen.
The patent pending crossover lumen technology provides physicians an optional capability designed for easier and more predictable cannulation of the contralateral limb when they need it.
Earlier this year, the Ovation iX system received CE Mark and approval from US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
