Company Shockwave Medical

Shockwave Medical, Inc. is a medical device company. The Company is primarily engaged in the development and commercialization of novel technologies that transform the care of patients with cardiovascular disease. The Company is focused on its intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) technology for the treatment of calcified plaque in patients with peripheral vascular, coronary vascular and heart valve disease. Built on a balloon catheter platform, the IVL technology uses lithotripsy to disrupt both superficial and deep vascular calcium., while minimizing soft tissue injury, and an integrated angioplasty balloon to dilate blockages at low pressures, restoring blood flow. Its Shockwave M5 IVL catheter and Shockwave M5+ IVL catheter are five-emitter catheters for use in its IVL System in medium-diameter vessels for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Its Shockwave S4 IVL catheter is a four-emitter catheter for use in its IVL System in small-diameter vessels for the treatment of PAD.
