TRUEtome™

Cannulating Sphincterotome

Sphincterotome design accommodates multiple guidewire diameters, from .018-.035” and allows for use of multiple guidewires during a procedure.
Illustration shows tip movement capabilities that help facilitate cannulation.
The center-lumen design* is the result of DirecTip™ Technology. The center lumen allows the guidewire to extend from the center of the sphincterotome to aid in positioning and facilitates wireguided cannulation. *Does not apply to the 4.9Fr size.

The TRUEtome Cannulating Sphincterotome is for physicians who prefer using an over-the-wire guidewire for ERCP.

Device Features

Center Guidewire Lumen design allows the guidewire to extend from the center of the sphincterotome to aid in positioning and facilitates wire-guided cannulation.*

Wire-guided Cannulation is known to reduce the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis compared with the standard contrast injection method.1

Center Injection Lumen design allows injection of contrast to exit from the center of the catheter enabling delivery of contrast to the intended duct.

Sphincterotome design accommodates Multiple Guidewire Diameters from 0.018 - 0.035in and allows for use of multiple guidewires during a procedure.*

Sphincterotome Multiple Tip Sizes accommodate varying patient anatomies and facilitates cannulation:

Sphincterotome Multiple Tip Sizes

* TRUEtome 3.9F Sphincterotome accepts a maximum guidewire of 0.025in

  • 3.F=1.30mm
  • 4.4F=1.47mm
  • 4.9F = 1.63mm
  • 0.018in = 0.46mm
  • 0.025in = 0.64mm
  • 0.035in = 0.89mm
Controlled Steerability provides optimal positioning for ERCP cannulation and sphincterotomy. Steerability enables intraductal selective cannulation to aid in accessing the pancreatico-biliary tree.
Handle Brake helps maintain catheter bow for all tip sizes and added control during sphincterotomy.
