Strength Meets Precision.

Precision-engineered for high-pressure performance in resistant lesions — 11 diameters from 2.00 to 5.00 mm with Cardio-Elast non-compliance and minimal diameter growth from nominal to RBP.

Clinical Evidence

Advantage of
NC Balloon

Evidence 01

Studies have shown that NC balloons improve dilatation effects and lower rates of dissection.1

Evidence 02

Pre-dilatation & post-dilatation with NC balloons at high pressures have resulted in better scaffolding and stent expansion than SC balloons.2

Proprietary Coating

FW-COAT Technology

A dual-coating system that works in two distinct zones to maximise both deliverability and guidewire control — without compromise.

FW-COAT dual-mode coating — hydrophilic outer coat and hydrophobic guidewire lumen coat
Crossability
FW-Coat Hydrophilic Coating

Applied from the distal tip through the balloon zone — activates on contact with blood, creating a near-frictionless surface for crossing tight, calcified, or tortuous stenoses with minimal push force.

Trackability
Hydrophobic Guidewire Lumen Coating

A super-slippery hydrophobic lining inside the guidewire lumen minimises friction between catheter and wire — enabling precise, responsive tracking into severely angulated anatomy.

Why Gambit-NC

Built for Unyielding Lesions

01

Cardio-Elast NC Balloon

Proprietary Cardio-Elast non-compliant balloon maintains minimal diameter growth from nominal to RBP — delivering controlled, predictable sizing across the full pressure range.

02

High-Pressure Performance

12 atm nominal pressure with 22 atm RBP (2.0–4.0 mm) and 20 atm RBP (4.5–5.0 mm) for precise vessel sizing in calcified and resistant lesions.

03

11 Diameter Sizes

Complete range from 2.00 to 5.00 mm with eight balloon lengths (5–30 mm) — 88 individual combinations for every clinical scenario.
