PeriBoost™

Over the last decade, intensive research has been conducted to find the optimal treatment for patients with severe PAD in whom the disease has deteriorated to the stage of Critical Limb Ischemia. These patients, who face imminent amputation, are not candidates for conventional treatments and have an alarming mortality rate.

PerAssist's paradigm-shifting approach is to boost the blood flow to the affected region with its proprietary peri- arterial booster device, the PeriBoost.

The PeriBoost sleeve is fitted around a major, intact, healthy blood vessel, usually the femoral or iliac arteries, proximal to the diseased peripheral region. The operation of the sleeve maximizes blood flow to the lower extremities, while at the same time preventing blood from flowing in reverse.

The PeriBoost is the first medical device proven to increase the Ankle Brachial Index (ABI the golden standard for PAD diagnosis) on a large animal model.

PeriBoost advantages:

•  The PeriBoost treatment does not require incising or perforating arteries and therefore does not damage artery walls.

•  PeriBoost treatment can last for up to three months to allow the affected area to heal naturally.

•  The PeriBoost implant may be left in place for future use if peripheral vessels become re-occluded.

•  Treatment period is painless and does not infringe on patient's lifestyle.
