# 10 Rotablator ® Atherectomy System<br />

Introduced in 1993 by Heart Technologies*<br />

NEED IMAGE<br />

* Now sold by <strong>Boston</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong>’s Interventional Cardiology business<br />

The Rotablator is a high-speed, diamond-tipped drill<br />

used in cases of diffuse coronary artery disease<br />

where angioplasty and surgery are less effective.<br />

The unique device is delivered via catheter to target<br />

lesions where the rotating football-shaped burr<br />

spins at approximately 200,000 revolutions per<br />

minute, sanding away calcified (hardened) plaque<br />

to open clogged arteries.
