Three primary components that have the potential to reduce the risk of amputation even in advanced stages of Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI).
The LOVE YOUR LIMBS™ Campaign is an initiative to raise public awareness of PAD and physician awareness of treatment options. While the potential life-altering consequences of PAD are real, widespread awareness of the disease is not. On this site, you can learn about technologies that have the potential to help detect, restore and sustain blood flow. You can view case studies of successful PAD and CLI treatments and find resources to learn more. Finally, you can join LOVE YOUR LIMBS™ and be part of a cause that has the power to change lives. Welcome to LOVE YOUR LIMBS™, by Bard Peripheral Vascular.
PAD detection right in your office. The first step in successfully managing or treating PAD is detecting it. The FLOCHEC™ Digital ABI is a four-minute in-office test that provides a pulse waveform, digital ABI, and blood flow index on site.
Central lumen crossing for CTO. The CROSSER® CTO Recanalization Catheter utilizes high frequency, mechanical vibration to cross CTOs via atherectomy. This enables subsequent use of adjunctive therapies such as the LIFESTENT® Vascular Stent and ULTRAVERSE® and VASCUTRAK® PTA Dilatation Catheters.
PTA options for PAD and CLI. Bard offers small vessel and specialty balloons designed for the treatment of PAD and CLI, including the ULTRAVERSE® 014/018 PTA Dilation Catheter small vessel balloon with excellent trackability and superior pushability and the VASCUTRAK® PTA Dilatation Catheter which enables low inflation-pressure dilation through the use of longitudinal wires.
An approved SFA stent for sustained long-term outcomes. The LIFESTENT® Vascular Stent has a unique helical design that allows for superior bending, compression, torsion, and dynamic vessel conformability and is FDA approved with unmatched outcomes versus PTA in the SFA and proximal popliteal artery.
