About
Bolt Medical is a medical technology company based in Carlsbad, California. The company specializes in the design and development of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) systems aimed at treating calcified arterial disease in both coronary and peripheral vessels. Their core product, the Bolt IVL™ System, is a proprietary balloon catheter that uses laser-based energy to deliver acoustic pressure waves, effectively breaking up hardened calcium deposits within arteries. This innovative approach enhances blood flow and supports percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients with complex calcified lesions. The Bolt IVL system is designed for use in challenging cases of coronary and peripheral artery disease, particularly where moderate to severe vascular calcification complicates traditional treatments. Bolt Medical primarily serves healthcare professionals and institutions specializing in interventional cardiology and vascular procedures. In January 2025, the company was acquired by Boston Scientific Corporation, highlighting the strategic value of its technology in expanding treatment options for cardiovascular conditions. The Bolt IVL system is currently undergoing pivotal clinical trials to validate its safety and efficacy.
