June 20, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

NATICK, Mass., June 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Boston Scientific
Corporation (NYSE:
BSX
) today announced the global launch of its Mustang™
PTA Balloon Catheter, a highly deliverable 0.035 inch percutaneous
transluminal angioplasty (PTA) catheter designed for a wide range
of peripheral angioplasty procedures.  The Company plans to
launch the product immediately in the U.S., Europe and other
international markets.

Boston Scientific developed the Mustang PTA Balloon Catheter to

pressure (up to 24 atmospheres) and is the only 7 x 200 mm balloon
compatible with a 5 French introducer sheath.  Available in
203 sizes, it provides the broadest matrix of any available

arteries to dialysis fistulae.  The Mustang Balloon Catheter
demonstrates Boston Scientific’s commitment to continuing its
legacy as a pioneer and global leader in peripheral balloon
angioplasty.”
