What It Is
This device is a hydrophilic coated angiographic catheter designed to facilitate the delivery of embolization agents and contrast media during angiographic procedures. The hydrophilic coating reduces friction, allowing for smoother navigation through the vasculature. It is commonly used in diagnostic and interventional procedures to visualize blood vessels and deliver therapeutic agents.
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Delivery of contrast media into the vascular system during angiographic procedures.
- Delivery of embolization agents into the vascular system during angiographic procedures.
- Use in diagnostic angiography and interventional vascular procedures requiring selective catheter placement.
Clinical Applications
- Diagnostic angiography to opacify and visualize blood vessels.
- Selective delivery of embolization agents during therapeutic embolization.
- Catheter-based vascular procedures requiring delivery of contrast media.
- Inpatient or outpatient angiographic procedures when the catheter size and configuration are appropriate for the target vessel.
Practical Considerations
- Available sizes and configurations should be selected according to the target vessel, access route, anatomy, and procedural objective.
- The catheter is intended for use with standard angiographic equipment and compatible contrast media or embolization agents.
- The hydrophilic coating should be kept wet and handled according to the manufacturer's instructions to preserve coating performance.
- MRI safety depends on the specific catheter model and labeling; confirm the exact device's MR Safe, MR Conditional, or MR Unsafe status before MRI.
- As with other intravascular catheters, use may be inappropriate in patients with relevant vascular contraindications, contrast allergy, significant coagulopathy, or other procedure-specific risks.
