Innovative Devices Designed for Healthier Patient Outcomes

Shockwave devices offer your physician proven, low-risk options for effectively treating cardiovascular disease.

  • Shockwave IVL

    Has your doctor told you that you have calcium buildup or blockages in your blood vessels? If so, this calcium can be as hard as bone, which makes treating it very difficult.

    For over 30 years, doctors have used ultrasonic sound waves to break up kidney stones with a treatment called lithotripsy. Kidney stones and calcium buildup are very similar. That’s why Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) technology uses a new, but similar, type of lithotripsy to break up calcium in your blood vessels to help restore normal blood flow.

    In this overview, you can learn more about how IVL works and get insights from a real patient – all without any complicated medical terms or scientific jargon.

  • Shockwave Reducer

    Angina is chest pain caused by an inadequate blood supply to the heart muscle. This may feel like pressure or squeezing in the chest, or pain in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. For the majority of these patients, their angina can be treated with medication, a stent or bypass surgery. However, many angina patients suffer symptoms that are severe, long lasting, and cannot be controlled by traditional medical, surgical or interventional therapies.

    The Shockwave Reducer is an hourglass-shaped device that is implanted into the main vessel that collects blood once it leaves the heart muscle, to help relieve chronic chest pain.

    In this overview, you can learn more about angina and Shockwave Reducer, and hear from real patients.
