A multi-purpose assembly of devices designed to power and control the mechanical mechanism of an atherectomy and/or thrombectomy catheter (not included) during an intravascular recanalization procedure. It typically consists of an electrically-powered control unit that supplies the drive motor with electricity to power the catheter and a handpiece with hand-switch that includes the drive motor (for catheter manipulation); a foot-switch may also be included. This is a reusable device.
