Distal Access designs and develops medical devices to improve patient care including:
· Medical Device Controllers
· Tissue Resectors
· Access & Biopsy Needles and Drivers
Distal Access’s platform is designed to improve performance and maintain physician feel and control for procedure with cost-effective devices.
The SPINR driver is a core innovation at Distal Access that allow clinicians to increase torque, speed, power, and/or control with the power of the clinician’s hand.
The HAPTIX is a compact, high-torque, and high-RPM rechargeable electric drill platform with an integrated sensor to help users sense the difference between hard and soft bone.
SPINR
INDICATIONS FOR USE: The SPINR are used to maneuver guide wires in the coronary and peripheral vasculature. SPINRs are not intended for use in the neurovasculature. SPINR devices are “tools” not “treatments.”
Accessing distal anatomy, navigating tortuous vessels, crossing lesions, and working through blockages with guidewires can be challenging.
These challenges vary based on the vessel type, size, location, and disease morphology. Some procedures benefit from slow clockwise and counterclockwise guidewire control, other cases need high-torque guidewire maneuvering.
Basic torque devices are easy-to-use, but they provide limited in torque, predictability, speed, control, and overall performance. Electromechanical may improve performance for certain procedures, but they are complex, expensive, and often lack tactile feel.
SPINR™ High-Performance Controllers deliver high-torque with predictable clockwise and counterclockwise control.
No motors, electricity, or capital equipment.
Clinicians control the SPINR’s actuation with their hand based on what they see and feel during the procedure.
Squeezing the front handle rotates the guidewire clockwise 5X, releasing the front handle rotates the guidewire counterclockwise 5X. Clinicians control rotational speed and advancement or withdraw throughout the procedure. Physicians may also use their high-torque 0.014”-0.035” guidewire of choice for the situation.
· Predictable clockwise & counterclockwise rotations
· 5X clockwise & counterclockwise rotations per squeeze
· Improved torque
· Variable speed high-performance control
· 0.014” – 0.035” guidewire compatibility
· Peripheral vasculature
HAPTIX
Certain bone access and bone biopsy procedures involve drilling into hard cortical bone, softer cancellous bone, and/or into intramedullary space.
HAPTIX is a multi-use, rechargeable, high-torque electric tool with sensor to help clinicians feel the difference between hard bone and soft bone/intramedullary space.
The sensor is always-on, no extra buttons to press or enable, and it helps sense changes in bone density so clinicians can make instant decisions based on what they sense.
HAPTIX also includes a novel auto-ratchet that allows users drill with the electric motor or manually ratchet a needle, drill bit, k-wire, or other.
