NC Emerge
PTCA Dilatation Catheter
Post-Dilatation Can Help Reduce Complications and Costs
Quality Outcomes: Post-dilatation has been shown to reduce complications
- Post-dilatation reduces target vessel revascularization (TVR)7
- NC Emerge improves compliance by 25% over the market leading NC Quantum Apex™ PTCA Dilatation Catheter*
Operational Efficiency: Help ensure total stent expansion
- Uniform stent apposition facilitates uniform drug absorption into endothelial tissue3,4,5,6
Financial Health: Help reduce costs associated with complications8
- Incomplete apposition may contribute to thrombosis formation & SATs, & increase risk of restenosis3,4
