  • Available in 2.9 Fr and 4 Fr for antegrade, retrograde, and up-and-over approaches
  • The effective low-profile catheter for complex crossing and re-entry
  • A directional needle at the tip of the catheter has adjustable lengths.

        Cross chronic total occlusions (CTOs) with success


        92.3% procedural success*1
        92.3% technical success*1

        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

          BeBack: An Approach for Heavily Calcified Lesions

          “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.”

          From February 2024
          A New CTO Algorithm With the BeBack Crossing Catheter

          “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.
