Cardiovascular Systems’ Stealth 360° PAD System Honored as a New Technology of the Year by LifeScience Alley

Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI; Nasdaq: CSII), Stealth 360°™ PAD System has been honored as a New Technology of the Year by LifeScience Alley. The annual award is given to the top 10 novel products that address a medical need, demonstrate the ability to improve healthcare and have significant market potential. Expert industry judges selected ground-breaking medical and health care technologies from established and emerging organizations from around the U.S. and Canada. Companies presented their technologies at New Technology Showcase of the LifeScience Alley Conference & Expo in Minneapolis, which drew approximately 1,500 professionals from more than 12 countries and 30 states.

“We thank LifeScience Alley for this recognition — a direct reflection of the hard work and many contributions of our talented employees in Minnesota,” said David L. Martin, CSI president and chief executive officer. “This honor recognizes CSI’s innovative technology to safely treat routine and complex peripheral arterial disease (PAD) cases. The Stealth 360° removes harmful plaque from arteries in a very short treatment time in the hospital or physician’s office. Our technologies, combined with our growing wealth of clinical data, are helping physicians achieve a new standard of care for PAD patients to save limbs and lives.”

The Stealth 360° utilizes CSI’s proven orbital mechanism of action, which protects healthy tissue while removing difficult-to-treat plaque in patients with peripheral arterial disease. The Stealth 360° eliminates the large capital equipment portion of its predecessor product for a more compact and easier-to-use system. With simple, convenient speed adjustments on the handle, physicians can vary the speed of orbit and have greater control to achieve shorter procedure times and a high percentage of plaque reduction. The device also reduces set-up and staff time.
