Bloomington, Ind. – Cook Medical announced that the Advance Serenity™ Hydrophilic PTA Balloon Catheter is now available to physicians in the United States. The catheter is manufactured by Surmodics and distributed by Cook Medical.

Advance Serenity is a hydrophilic-coated angioplasty balloon catheter designed to meet the technical needs of clinicians for treatment of patients who suffer from peripheral artery disease (PAD) which includes below-the- knee disease. The catheter portfolio includes both a 0.014- and an 0.018-inch diameter wire guide platform and will be available in a wide variety of balloon lengths and diameters.

“Now that we’ve added Advance Serenity to our product portfolio of vascular solutions, physicians have one more tool in their toolbox to help treat patients who have PAD,” said Mark Breedlove, vice president of Cook Medical’s Vascular division.
