Shockwave C2

No pressure, it’s just calcium. C2 it with Shockwave C2, our Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) catheter designed to safely and effectively modify calcified plaque related to coronary artery disease (CAD).

Your Sound Calcium Strategy

Shockwave C2 helps you establish a new standard of care for safe calcium modification by reducing the risk of perforations and other complications to make procedures more predictable and efficient. Achieve excellent lumen gains and stent expansion consistently despite the calcium morphology – whether superficial or deep, concentric or eccentric, and short or long lesions. 

  • Minimize trauma: Minimize trauma to soft tissue by safely selecting and fracturing intimal and medial calcium 
  • Optimize outcomes: Optimize stent delivery, expansion and apposition while reducing risk of perforation and cost escalation 
  • Simplify procedures: Simple and intuitive system that makes complex calcified coronary procedures more predictable
