About DABRA

DABRA is Ra Medical’s minimally invasive excimer laser system used by physicians as a tool in the endovascular treatment of vascular blockages resulting from lower extremity vascular disease, a form of PAD, both above and below the knee. DABRA reduces all four plaque types into their fundamental chemistry, such as proteins, lipids and other chemical compounds, eliminating blockages by essentially dissolving them without generating potentially harmful particulates. DABRA employs photochemical ablation, or the removal of arterial tissue by using photons to clear blockages by breaking the bonds of the obstructing plaque. Unlike many treatments for PAD that may damage the arterial wall, DABRA quickly and photochemically dissolves plaque with minimal vascular trauma.
