Overview

Expo® Angiographic Catheter

Clear Angiographic Images:
  • The high flow of the Expo catheter allows for more contrast into the vessel that results in a clear, bright angiogram. Your diagnosis and treatment planning is enhanced.
Quick, Safe Vessel Engagement:
  • Trilon™ Polymer material and full length braiding provide excellent pushability and efficient torque transmission for outstanding handling.
  • Soft tip designed to reduce potential for vessel trauma.
  • Wide variety of curve styles for all possible anatomies.
Performance Reliability:
  • Robust shaft construction allows you to downsize and still get the performance you need.
  • Resists softening in the body allowing for consistent handling throughout the procedure.
  • Excellent curve retention allows the catheter to maintain position during injections.
  • Outstanding kink resistance and pushability allow you to smoothly traverse the most tortuous anatomy.

Impulse® Angiographic Catheter

Flextrusion™ Technology allows Impulse catheters to transition smoothly from a stiff proximal shaft to a soft distal segment:
  • Stiff proximal shaft delivers excellent pushability and kink resistance.
  • Soft distal segment allows for outstanding engagement and coaxial alignment in the vessel.
  • Smooth transition creates a soft torque zone over the aortic arch resulting in better conformity to the anatomy and more controlled distal torque response.

Anatomy Specific Designs:

  • Left and right catheters are designed differently to meet the unique requirements of the left and right coronaries.
  • Left catheter is designed for outstanding engagement.
  • Right catheter is designed for excellent distal torque response when engaging the right coronary.

Double Wire Braid:

  • Double wire braid pattern from hub to tip enhances torque response and delivers excellent distal control.
