The Atlas™ Gold Balloon 14 × 60 mm by C. R. Bard is a high-pressure PTA (Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty) Dilatation Catheter designed for controlled dilation within the peripheral vasculature. Featuring a 14 mm balloon diameter and 60 mm balloon length, the catheter incorporates a non-compliant balloon designed to maintain a predictable diameter even when used at high inflation pressures.
The Atlas Gold balloon catheter is intended for professional interventional vascular procedures, including selected peripheral angioplasty procedures, treatment of obstructive lesions in arteriovenous dialysis fistulae and post-dilatation of peripheral stents and stent grafts according to the applicable Instructions for Use.
Its high-pressure design, radiopaque markers and atraumatic tapered tip help clinicians position and dilate targeted vascular lesions with controlled balloon expansion.
This Atlas Gold configuration features:
Balloon Diameter: 14 mm
Balloon Length: 60 mm / 6 cm
Nominal Pressure: 6 ATM
Rated Burst Pressure: 18 ATM
Compatible Sheath Size: 8F
Guidewire Compatibility: 0.035 inch
Catheter Shaft Length: 80 cm or 120 cm depending on model
The 14 × 60 mm configuration is available in different shaft lengths to accommodate procedural requirements.
The Atlas Gold PTA Dilatation Catheter incorporates a non-compliant balloon technology designed to provide minimal balloon growth beyond its specified diameter as inflation pressure increases.
This characteristic provides controlled radial force during dilation and is especially useful when accurate balloon sizing is important.
The 14 mm × 60 mm balloon has a nominal pressure of 6 ATM and a rated burst pressure of 18 ATM.
The Atlas Gold balloon catheter is designed for selected peripheral vascular interventions.
Depending on the applicable regional Instructions for Use, applications may include:
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty
Iliac artery interventions
Selected peripheral vascular dilation
Treatment of obstructive lesions in native or synthetic AV dialysis fistulae
Post-dilatation of peripheral vascular stents
Post-dilatation of stent grafts
Selected iliac and femoral venous interventions where included in the applicable IFU
The catheter should only be used by appropriately trained interventional healthcare professionals.
Two radiopaque markers identify the working length of the balloon.
These markers assist clinicians with:
Balloon positioning
Identification of the treatment zone
Fluoroscopic visualization
Accurate alignment with the target lesion
Proper visualization is particularly important when performing controlled vascular dilation.
The catheter features an atraumatic tapered distal tip designed to facilitate advancement through the vascular system and across the target stenosis.
The design helps improve trackability while allowing the catheter to be advanced over a compatible guidewire.
The Atlas Gold PTA catheter uses an over-the-wire configuration and is compatible with a 0.035-inch guidewire.
This configuration provides controlled catheter advancement and positioning during peripheral vascular procedures.
The catheter incorporates separate guidewire and inflation lumens with proximal luer-lock connections.
The Atlas Gold balloon incorporates relatively short shoulders designed to reduce unnecessary vessel straightening during inflation and facilitate high-pressure dilation around the edges of peripheral stents where clinically appropriate.

The Atlas Gold 14 × 60 mm Balloon Catheter may be used for professionally indicated procedures involving:
Peripheral Angioplasty
Provides controlled balloon dilation during selected peripheral vascular interventions.
AV Dialysis Fistula Intervention
May be used for treatment of obstructive lesions affecting native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.
Stent Post-Dilatation
Can be used for post-dilatation of selected peripheral vascular stents.
Stent Graft Post-Dilatation
May be used to optimize expansion of compatible stent grafts within the peripheral vasculature.
High-Pressure Vascular Dilation
The non-compliant balloon and high rated burst pressure provide controlled radial force where higher-pressure dilation is clinically required.
The Atlas Gold 14 × 60 mm configuration is available in at least two catheter shaft lengths:
80 cm Shaft
Catalog reference: ATG80146
120 cm Shaft
Catalog reference: ATG120146
Both configurations feature the same 14 mm × 60 mm balloon, 6 ATM nominal pressure, 18 ATM rated burst pressure and 8F sheath compatibility.
The appropriate shaft length should be selected according to vascular access and procedural requirements.
