Nipro intravascular imaging is committed to advancing the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease around the world. We are building on the work developed by Infraredx, a Nipro company that has 30 years of research on the association between heart attacks and lipid core plaques. With a bold vision pioneering the design, manufacture, and distribution of technologies that addresses the needs of practitioners and improves outcomes for patients with coronary artery disease.

Achieve unparalleled insights with the Dualpro™ IVUS+NIRS catheter and its accompanying Makoto™ Intravascular Imaging System- the only CE Marked and FDA-cleared dual-modality catheter and imaging system indicated for the detection of lipid core plaque (LCP) and the identification of plaque and patients at higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Specifications

The Makoto™ Intravascular Imaging System is a dual-modality intravascular imaging system that enables the structural and chemical assessment of coronary arteries and plaques by using integrated Extended Bandwidth IVUS imaging and NIRS technologies to identify LCPs of interest.

Makoto™ utilizes proprietary NIRS analysis and Extended Bandwidth rotational IVUS imaging from a single catheter, helping you to achieve unparalleled insights for the still uncharted territories and roles that LCPs play in heart disease. The system also features a touch screen control interface, wheels for ease of movement, and a workflow suited for the complex catheterization laboratory environment.

View a crisper image of a vessel structure with the Dualpro™ IVUS

Dualpro™ is the only intravascular imaging catheter on the market today that utilizes Extended Bandwidth IVUS technology. By emitting and carefully processing a broad band of frequencies, the Dualpro™ IVUS brings you a best-in-class image resolution without compromising on the depth of field. With a crisper IVUS image of the vessel structure, you can identify the degree of stenosis much more easily, visualize and quantify plaque burden, determine the landing zone for a stent, and assure proper stent deployment.
