Intravascular microflow catheter

Intended purpose

A small-diameter, flexible tube used for the controlled infusion of therapeutic agents/fluids (e.g., thrombolytics, diagnostic contrast media) into superselective small vessels (peripheral vasculature only) for angiography and treatment, and the delivery of embolic devices into tortuous or superselective anatomy. Also known as a continuous flush catheter, it may include an ultrasound transducer, a thermal sensor, and a hole for guidewire placement located at the distal tip. It is typically used with a microflow infusion system which provides the energy for its application. This is a single-use device.
