Cook Medical and Bentley have entered into a United States distribution agreement for the BeBack crossing catheter.
Read the full press release here.
The BeBack crossing catheter is a low-profile catheter that has complex crossing and targeted re-entry capabilities. It features a length-adjustable, 360° nitinol needle. The special radiopaque marker indicates in which direction the curved needle protrudes from the center of the catheter.

The BeBack catheter’s “adept ability to navigate and recanalize occluded segments provides a robust alternative, especially when traditional wire guide and catheter techniques falter.”1

Performance of BeBack crossing catheter in chronic total occlusion in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia: a single-center experience
Chronic total occlusion crossing
In-stent restenosis
Subintimal crossing and re-entry
*In 72/78 CTO procedures where traditional wire guide and catheter techniques had failed.
Technical success was defined as “CTO recanalization by occlusion crossing or luminal re-entry via the application of BeBack and demonstration of arterial patency with completion angiogram.”1 Procedural success was defined as “arterial recanalization with < 30% residual stenosis and improvement in ABI by at least 0.2 after 24 hours."1

Drs. Bob Beasley and Nick Petruzzi share their thoughts on this “revolutionary” product.
Drs. Beasley and Petruzzi are paid consultants of Cook Medical.
“Insights from the first United States clinical case using the BeBack as a crossing, support, and reentry catheter to recanalize a CTO resistant to conventional techniques.”
“A literature review and conversation with a clinician experienced in the technology highlight the utility of the BeBack catheter for CTO in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.”
The purpose and intended use of the BeBack crossing catheter is to be used in conjunction with a steerable wire guide to access discrete regions of the peripheral vasculature. It may be used to facilitate placement and exchange of wire guides.
