The Wolverine over-the-wire (OTW) coronary cutting balloon microsurgical dilatation device and the Wolverine Monorail (MR) coronary cutting balloon microsurgical dilatation device consists of a balloon with 3 or 4 atherotomes (microsurgical blades) mounted longitudinally on its outer surface. 2 to 3.25 mm balloon diameter models contain 3 atherotomes and 3.5 to 4 mm balloon diameter models contain 4 atherotomes. When the device is inflated, the atherotomes score the plaque, creating initiation sites for crack propagation. This process, referred to as atherotomy, allows dilatation of the target lesion with less pressure.
