Peripheral Arterial Disease
Build a Peripheral Arterial Disease program
that helps more
patients in your community
Around the globe, more than 230 million people are estimated to have peripheral arterial disease (PAD).1 And, it is estimated that a staggering 70 percent of Americans are unaware of PAD.3 As a progressive disease, early detection, advanced care, and on-going management can mean the difference between maintaining mobility and reducing the risk of amputations and cardiovascular events. The work that you do in your community to provide care has the possibility of changing people’s lives.
Together we can help patients to maintain mobility and quality of life
Our engineers, medical affairs professionals, and clinical specialists are dedicated to ensuring you have access to the most advanced technologies, supported by clinical evidence, at your fingertips. We also believe in providing world-class educational opportunities. For PAD, this includes connecting you with procedural experts, creating opportunities to discuss treatment algorithms, and hosting forums where teams with comprehensive PAD programs share their insights. Our goal is to support you in caring for more patients in your community.
