What is an angiographic catheter?
What is an angiographic catheter?
An angiographic or diagnostic catheter is intended for use in angiographic procedures. It delivers radiopaque media and therapeutic agents to selected sites in the vascular system. It is also used to lead a guidewire or a catheter to the target site.
What is a Cobra catheter?
The Cobra catheter is typically used for catheterization of down-going vessels such as the visceral arteries, but it may not work well if the target vessel is steeply angled. Cobra-type catheters are advanced by pushing and removed by pulling.
What is Beacon tip?
Beacon Tip catheters are used for diagnostic angiographic procedures and feature a visible distal tip designed to improve visualisation when using fluoroscopic guidance.
What is a diagnostic catheter?
Diagnostic catheters are used to navigate cardiac anatomy, capture critical cardiac information and deliver more precise therapy. Our diagnostic catheters are designed to help facilitate comprehensive data collection and meet your patients’ needs from simple to complex cases.
What is Tiger catheter?
Tiger Catheter is used for transradial coronary angiography. It is that the same catheter can be used to engage both the right and left coronary artery. Features: Designed for optimum torque control and precise placement.
What Is A Judkins catheter?
Judkins coronary catheter a preformed J-shaped angiographic catheter used in coronary arteriography to cannulate and deliver contrast material to one of the coronary arteries via a percutaneous femoral route. left coronary catheter one designed for coronary arteriography of the left coronary artery.
What is a microcatheter?
Microcatheters are small 0.70-1.30mm diameter catheters that are used for guidewire support, exchanges, to access distal anatomy, cross lesions, deliver therapeutic embolic, inject contrast media and perform other procedures in complex endovascular procedures.
What is a headhunter catheter used for?
Passive catheters such as headhunter, multipurpose, and vertebral are used to access the great vessels in patients with type I aortic arch.
What is the difference between a guide catheter and diagnostic catheter?
Guides have a shorter, more angulated tip and a larger internal diameter than similar diagnostic catheters. The larger internal diameter facilitates equipment delivery and contrast injection.
What is a guide catheter?
The guide catheter provides support for device advancement (stents, balloons, etc.). It is the conduit for device and wire transport, a vehicle for contrast injection and takes measurements. Guide catheters are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit a variety of patient anatomies.
What is Judkins technique?
Catheters used for performing coronary angiography via the femoral artery were developed by Melvin Judkins, MD; thus, the method often is referred to as the Judkins technique. This widely used method requires separate preformed catheters for the right and left coronary arteries (see the images below).
