FDA has cleared a Surmodics 510(k) for its Sublime Radial Access 0.014 Rapid Exchange percutaneous transluminal angioplasty dilatation catheter. The device allows below-the-knee access through a transradial approach by providing a long working length (250 cm), according to the company. Outer balloon diameters range from 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm with balloon lengths between 20 mm and 220 mm, it says.  
  
The product joins the previously cleared Sublime Radial Guide Sheath within its Sublime Radial Access Platform and is designed to allow radial access for treating above- or below-the-knee arteries, Surmodics says. “Radial access offers many benefits relative to femoral access including reduced puncture site bleeding complications, earlier ambulation, reduced length of hospital stay, and lower healthcare costs,” it says.
