ABSTRACT:
A device/apparatus that enhances the armamentarium of a physician in addressing coronary artery disease by providing the means by which a physician can have at his or her disposal two different and distinct PTCA balloon catheters in one. The device/apparatus is capable of converting a "movable wire balloon catheter" device into a "fixed wire balloon catheter" device, by merely attaching/connecting the (device/apparatus) wire converter system to the proximal center lumen of the wye connector housing of the "movable wire balloon catheter" device. The device/apparatus, wire converter system, could also be incorporated into the proximal wye connector housing of a "movable wire balloon catheter" device, thus enabling such a device to be convertible to a "fixed wire balloon catheter" device also. The device/apparatus, wire converter system, is also applicable as a standard wire torquing tool; to be used under routine application as are all other wire torque tools.
