Peripheral Leg
Complete Simulated Use Solutions
BDC Laboratories designs customizable simulated use solutions to evaluate lower extremity procedures for intravascular interventions, such as placing a stent, stent graft, catheter, or cannula.
Both arterial and venous vasculature can be included as needed, featuring the aortic bifurcation down to the tibial/fibular artery region. Each system can be designed and manufactured with both left and right femoral access via hemostatic valves to facilitate insertion, advancement, and delivery, or just one leg’s access for contralateral procedures. Our team can incorporate custom calcified lesions as needed.
Key System Features
Clinically Relevant
Bench model designed for development activities, education, and physician training.
High-Visibility
Clear model allows better visibility of the delivery system and device.
Stable Form
Silicone vasculature is designed to ensure that the model retains its 3D configuration during procedures.
Realistic Dynamics
Model simulate clinical scenarios with flow through all branches.
Anatomical Additions
Optional technologies are available to increase model fidelity and tailor systems to specific clinical use cases. These technologies support more realistic simulation and device interaction.
SLIC™ Friction Reduction Coating
BDC Laboratories’ proprietary SLIC™ Friction Reduction Coating is engineered to provide a clinically relevant surface friction profile for silicone anatomical models.
Echogenic Treatment
BDC Laboratories’ echogenic treatment alters the properties of silicone vessels to more accurately replicate how real anatomical structures appear under clinical ultrasound imaging.
Calcification
BDC Laboratories can integrate custom calcified lesions into any location with vascular or anatomical models, including coronary arteries and aortic valves.
Extend Your System
Add-ons extend your system’s capabilities. They can be purchased to support specific applications and configurations.
Fluid Handling
BDC Laboratories’ fluid handling systems deliver precise, repeatable flow conditions to support the evaluation, testing, and demonstration of cardiovascular devices and their delivery systems. Designed to simulate physiological hemodynamics, these systems range from the digitally controlled PD-1100 to the portable PD-0500 and PD-0750 platforms.
Accurate Pressure Monitoring
The Statys® Pressure Monitoring System delivers precise, reliable pressure measurements for cardiovascular device evaluation or demonstration. Supporting up to four pressure transducers simultaneously, this system combines dedicated data acquisition hardware with user-friendly software to monitor, chart, and record critical pressure signals with accuracy and consistency.
Multi-Camera Imaging
BDC Laboratories’ imaging system provides an easy, reliable way to capture high-quality visuals for flow model simulations. Configurable with up to four compact USB-compatible cameras, the system includes a tablet-based tech package with our Statys® Video Monitoring software to easily record and review multiple views of device placement in real time.
