"Diamondback 360 Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) is a small catheter with a diamond crown. The doctor inserts it at the groin and advances into the leg.The OAS works by spinning around inside the artery to sand down the buildup of material along the artery walls while leaving the healthy vessel behind."

HawkOne Directional Atherectomy System (DAS) also is the small catheter with cutting device. Doctor slowly and smoothly advances it across the blockage in your artery and shaves the plaque from the vessel wall and collects it in the reservoir.
