The Flextome cutting Balloon Device is a tool used by doctors to clear blockages in blood vessels. A wire is inserted into an artery over which a balloon is passed into the area of the blood vessel to be unblocked. The balloon is covered with three or four microsurgical blades that scrape away the plaque on the interior of the artery wall, which allows the blood to flow unimpeded.
Unfortunately, the Flextome cutting Balloon Device has been known to detach from the catheter as it is removed from the body. There have been eight cases of such an occurrence, three off which required subsequent surgery to correct. These surgeries risk exposing people to further medical risks such as infection, allergic reaction, and potential malpractice.
