Excelsior 1018 Reinforced Microcatheter (Straight) - Catheter, infusion

Intended purpose

The Excelsior 1018 Straight Reinforced Microcatheters are intended to assist in the delivery of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents, such as occlusion coils, into the peripheral, coronary, and neurovasculature.

Functional description

The Excelsior 1018 microcatheter is a single lumen device designed to aid the physician in accessing distal vasculature when used with a guiding catheter and steerable guidewire. Graded shaft stiffness ranging from a highly flexible tip to a semi-rigid proximal section aids the physician in tracking over selectively placed guidewires. A luer fitting located on the microcatheter hub is used for the attachment of accessories. A radiopaque tip facilitates fluoroscopic visualization.
