Core offering

Transit Scientific designs, develops, and commercializes proprietary medical devices for peripheral vascular interventions. Its portfolio includes the XO Score Sheath Platform (a one-piece metal alloy exoskeleton sheath that slides over off-the-shelf PTA balloons to apply focal force in calcified lesions), the XO Cross Catheter Platform (non-tapered unibody metal alloy micro and support catheters for complex peripheral lesion crossing), and the XO Cath Microcatheter (for controlled infusion of diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic materials).

Product overview

Transit Scientific offers a portfolio of three distinct medical device platforms for peripheral vascular interventions: the XO Score® Sheath Platform, the XO Cross® Catheter Platform, and the XO Cath Microcatheter. The XO Score is a vessel prep and treatment solution consisting of a metal alloy exoskeleton sheath that slides over standard off-the-shelf PTA balloons to apply focal force in calcified lesions; it is available in both rapid exchange (RX) and over-the-wire (OTW) configurations. The XO Cross provides micro and support catheter technology with proprietary non-tapered, unibody design for navigating complex lesions and facilitating guidewire exchanges. The XO Cath is an embolic-delivery microcatheter for controlled infusion of diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic materials.

• XO Score: FDA 510(k) and CE Mark cleared vessel prep and treatment system - a thin one-piece metal alloy exoskeleton sheath with up to 22 struts/grooves that slides over off-the-shelf angioplasty balloons to apply focal force during dilation of calcified, hyperplastic, and resistant lesions.

Products and services

• XO Score® Sheath Platform A thin one-piece metal alloy exoskeleton sheath with up to 22 struts/grooves that slides over off-the-shelf angioplasty balloons. When the balloon inflates, struts rotate 90 degrees to apply focal force to calcified or resistant lesions; when deflated, struts return to an atraumatic position and assist balloon rewrapping. FDA 510(k) and CE Mark cleared for peripheral arteries and dialysis fistulae.
• XO Cross® Catheter Platform Micro and support catheters featuring a proprietary non-tapered, unibody, metal alloy design enabling market-leading 175cm shaft lengths with telescoping or coaxial dual support, delivering progressive flex, pushability, torque response, and catheter fatigue resistance. FDA 510(k) and CE Mark cleared to guide and support a guidewire during access of peripheral vasculature.
• XO Cath Microcatheter A peripheral vascular microcatheter for controlled and selective infusion of diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic materials into vessels. Used in radial access procedures without a support catheter.
• XO Low Profile RX Angioplasty Platform A novel vessel prep and treatment system that fits over standard off-the-shelf PTA balloons. Compatible with a broad range of standard PTA balloon sizes (1.5-7mm outer diameter and 20-200mm lengths), available in both rapid exchange (RX) and over-the-wire (OTW) configurations.
