Functional description

A balloon-tipped, rapid exchange catheter with two lumina and radio-opaque markers. The balloon is protected with a removable sheath which protect the initial profile. The balloon is designed to provide an inflatable segment of known diameter and length at recommended pressures. SeQuent® Neo has a hydrophilic coated surface at the distal catheter portion. Due to this, SeQuent® Neo provide optimal gliding properties during intervention.
