Functional description
ASAHI Corsair Pro & Pro XS microcatheters are designed to support guidewire placement and exchange during PCI under fluoroscopy. It also provides support to the guidewire to prevent kinking and prolapse of the wire, improves wire maneuverability, allows for frequent wire exchanges or tip reshaping, and can be used to deliver highly-specific contrast injections from the tip.The distal tip is radiopaque to ensure visualisation under fluoroscopy.
