Intended purpose

The PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is intended for dilatation of the stenotic portion (non-CTO) of coronary arteries for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion.

Functional description

The PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is designed to allow rapid exchange of the catheter using a guidewire. The proximal shaft is a PTFE coated stainless steel tube to allow pushability, trackability and crossability to ensure optimal balloon placement and expansion. Balloon material allows high pressure dilatation. Two radiopaque markers located in balloon to enable fluoroscopy.
