Introduced in 1993 by Heart Technologies*<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.
