Braided Radial Guiding Catheter For Intervention

Indications:

Guiding Catheters are intended for use for intravascular,introduction of interventional/diagnostic devices into coronary or peripheral vascular systems

Features:

• Flat-wire-braided, 100-cm catheter shaft with PTFE liner

• One-piece molded hub and strain relief

• Curves designed for transradial access

• Radiopaque for fluoroscopic visualization

• All catheters available in 100-cm length

• Soft, radiused tip

Specification:

Precautions:

• Store in a cool dark place.

• Do not use open or damaged packages.

• Do not resterilize the catheter.

• Do not autoclave. Exposure to temperatures

above 54°C (130°F) may damage the catheter.

• Do not expose to solvents or ionizing radiation.

• Inspect the guiding catheter before use to verify that its size,

shape, and condition are suitable for the specific procedure.

• Before use, flush all devices entering the blood vessel with

sterile heparinized saline or a similar isotonic solution.

• If strong resistance is met during manipulation, discontinue

the procedure and determine the cause of the resistance

before proceeding. If the cause of the resistance cannot be

determined, withdraw the catheter.

• Torquing the guiding catheter while kinked may cause

damage which could result in possible separation along the

catheter shaft. Should the guiding catheter shaft become

kinked, withdraw the entire system (guiding catheter,

guidewire, and catheter sheath introducer).

• Advancement, manipulation, and withdrawal of the guiding

catheter should always be performed under fluoroscopic

guidance.

• Extreme care must be taken to avoid damage to the

vasculature through which the guiding catheter passes. The

guiding catheter may occlude smaller vessels. Care must be

taken to avoid complete blood flow blockage.

• Large internal lumen guiding catheters require less force on

the syringe during injection
