Purpose-Built to Crack Calcium in Large Peripheral Vessels

Size up the situation with the Shockwave L6, our largest peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) catheter. Like our other IVL devices, Shockwave L6 uses sonic pressure waves to safely break up calcium in the artery wall and restore blood flow, specially designed for those larger femoral and iliac vessels. 

  • Large-vessel treatment: 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 12.0 mm diameter sizes 
  • Consistent high energy: Compact emitter design  
  • Focused treatment: 30 mm balloon length 
  • Support you need: 0.018” guidewire 
  • Ultra-low pressure: IVL therapy at 2-4 atm
