Provisio Medical, innovators in Sonic Lumen Tomography™ (SLT) technology for real-time blood vessel measurements during vascular interventions, announced the successful completion of the first commercial clinical cases using their Provisio™ SLT IVUS™ System.

"This marks a significant advancement in intra-luminal measurement technology. who conducted the procedures at Allegheny Vein and Vascular.

"It offers a rapid, novel, and highly precise method for determining vessel size and contour, which is vital for treating patients with chronic and limb-threatening ischemia."

Provisio Medical Physician Advisory Board, commented, "This catheter-based method for real-time vascular assessment could potentially enhance our current reliance on arteriographic imaging."

Angiographic imaging alone has often been found inadequate for accurately assessing vessel size in the approximately 20 million people in the U.S. with peripheral vascular disease.

Intravascular imaging improves accuracy in vessel sizing, which is essential for selecting the appropriate stent or other therapeutic devices, thereby improving clinical outcomes. By integrating this technology into a front-line support crossing catheter.

Provisio streamlines the acquisition and presentation of vessel sizing data without altering the physician's workflow, potentially reducing the time required for data acquisition, as well as the use of contrast media and exposure to radiation.
