Baylis Medical Technologies products

The Nykanen Radiofrequency Wire, developed by Baylis Medical Technologies, is designed to create controlled punctures in soft and delicate tissues. In the U.S.A., this device is employed to cut and coagulate soft tissues, whereas in Canada, it specifically aims to address heart tissue punctures. The wire features a smooth advancement enabled by its flexible PTFE-coated design, with a maximum outer diameter of 0.024 inches and an exchange length of 265 cm. Its atraumatic tip is engineered to prevent mechanical perforation, ensuring minimal damage to surrounding tissues. The unique RF Puncture Technology used in the Nykanen Wire distinguishes it from typical RF ablation, as it creates small openings in tissues rather than large lesions, which is ideal for precise medical applications. Connecting with the ProTrack™ Microcatheter enhances its utility, and the device complies with various regional regulatory standards, although availability may differ by jurisdiction.

The Destino Steerable Sheath is developed to aid in the intracardiac placement of diagnostic and therapeutic devices. This bi-directional steerable guiding sheath is engineered to provide flexibility and precision in cardiac procedures. It is available in variations that include a straight dilator kit or set, with key specifications such as 12 F and 8.5 F sizes, and catheter lengths ranging from 67 cm to 98 cm. The sheath is tailored for the predictable and controlled delivery of devices to challenging cardiac locations. While the product is designed for adaptation within different jurisdictions, specific indications and clinical guidelines should be verified through regional regulatory requirements and the product's Instruction for Use. Baylis Medical Technologies is committed to enhancing patient outcomes through the innovation and distribution of premium medical devices.

The PowerWire Pulse RF Guidewire is a specialized medical device designed to create precise paths through soft tissues utilizing radiofrequency (RF) puncture technology. This guidewire has been effectively employed to navigate and cut soft tissue structures within the cardiovascular, portal venous, biliary, urinary systems, and the gastrointestinal tract. With a rounded, atraumatic tip, it delivers RF energy to ensure controlled punctures with minimal collateral damage to surrounding tissues. The device has a maximum outer diameter of 0.035 inches and a length of 250 cm, making it compatible with third-party over-the-wire devices. Baylis Medical Technologies provides comprehensive clinical support and training to maximize the device's utility. The PowerWire Pulse RF Guidewire is particularly indicated for procedures such as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) and direct intrahepatic portocaval shunt (DIPS) creation, further emphasizing its versatility in facilitating complex interventions across multiple medical fields.

The PowerWire Pro RF Guidewire is developed for effective management of complex vascular occlusions, utilizing radiofrequency puncture technology to create channels through peripheral vessels both native and stented. In the USA, it's indicated for use in totally occluded peripheral vessels of 3 mm or greater while in Canada, it is used for treating occlusive peripheral vascular diseases to aid limb preservation. This guidewire demonstrates an 84% success rate in cases where standard guidewires fail. Designed for use with third-party devices such as venous thrombectomy tools, it features a maximum 0.035” diameter and a 250 cm length. With diversely shaped tips and high visibility under fluoroscopy, it ensures precision crossing. The guidewire also restores hemodialysis access, alleviating vascular occlusion symptoms. It leverages unique safe crossing technology where RF energy is terminated upon contact with metal, minimizing vessel extravasation risks.

The PowerWire® Pro RF Guidewire is designed for precision and control in complex vascular procedures, aiding the introduction of diagnostic and therapeutic devices into various parts of the human vasculature, such as intracardiac, renal, and peripheral placements. Notably, it features a deflectable, steerable sheath that provides enhanced maneuverability across diverse anatomical structures. Key features include an atraumatic tip to lessen trauma, smooth transitions to the catheter, and a hydrophobic-coated sheath that reduces friction. The device's 180˚ deflectable tip allows for smooth vascular navigation and minimizes the need for multiple catheter exchanges. A braided Flexsteer™ shaft offers both stability and flexibility, facilitating the delivery of therapeutic or diagnostic devices effectively. Additionally, features such as a fluoroscopy-enabled distal marker band, rotating collar, tip position indicator, and SureSeal™ hemostatic valve contribute to accurate navigation, minimized air embolism, and reduced blood loss. Models like the Passport® steerable sheath provide versatile access configurations to accommodate various anatomical challenges in clinical procedures.
