What It Is
The Asahi Corsair Armet 18 Microcatheter is a flexible, small-diameter catheter designed to navigate through the intricate and narrow pathways of the vascular system. It is used to facilitate the delivery of therapeutic agents or other devices to specific sites within the vasculature. Its design allows for enhanced maneuverability and access in challenging anatomical regions.
FDA-Cleared Indications
- For percutaneous vascular procedures that require catheter navigation through the vasculature.
- For delivery of therapeutic agents or other compatible interventional devices to a selected vascular location.
- For use in the peripheral and coronary vasculature when a small-diameter catheter is clinically appropriate.
Clinical Applications
- Catheter-based navigation through small or tortuous peripheral blood vessels.
- Delivery of compatible guidewires, therapeutic agents, or other devices to a selected vascular site.
- Support of percutaneous vascular interventions requiring selective vessel access.
- Use during selected coronary or peripheral vascular procedures when the device specifications and anatomy are appropriate.
Practical Considerations
- Models include CSAR060-18N, CSAR090-18N, CSAR110-18N, and CSAR135-18N, representing different catheter lengths.
- The catheter is used with compatible guidewires and other devices according to the manufacturer's specifications.
- Selection depends on the target vessel, access route, anatomy, required reach, and the size and compatibility of the intended guidewire or treatment device.
- It is a single-use catheter; it is not intended to remain permanently implanted and should not be reused or resterilized.
- MRI conditions and safety depend on the current manufacturer labeling. The device should be assessed using its official instructions for use before MRI, and it should not be assumed to be universally MRI safe.
