Teleport Glide Microcatheter

FDA-Cleared Indications

• Percutaneous introduction into the vascular system for the delivery of diagnostic or therapeutic agents.
• Use in conjunction with compatible guidewires, guiding catheters, and other interventional devices during endovascular procedures.
• The specific treated vessel, agent, and procedure must be appropriate for the device configuration and its FDA-cleared labeling.

Clinical Applications

• Selective catheterization of arteries for delivery of embolic materials during embolization procedures.
• Delivery of contrast media for angiographic imaging of selected vascular territories.
• Catheter-based delivery of therapeutic agents in appropriately selected endovascular procedures.
• Navigation through tortuous peripheral or visceral arterial anatomy when selective distal access is required.

Reported off-label uses

• Selective neurovascular catheterization for delivery of embolic agents or other therapeutic materials when the device configuration is suitable.
• Use in selected transarterial oncology procedures, such as chemoembolization or radioembolization, when compatible with the planned agent and treatment protocol.

Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Practical Considerations

• The available sizes, lengths, distal-tip configuration, and inner diameter should be matched to the access system, guidewire, target vessel, and treatment agent; the current manufacturer instructions for use should be checked.
• The catheter is generally advanced over a compatible guidewire through a guiding catheter or sheath under fluoroscopic imaging. It should not be advanced against resistance or used without appropriate wire support.
• Compatibility must be confirmed for embolic materials, contrast media, infusion agents, guidewires, and other devices. Some agents can obstruct or damage a microcatheter if used outside labeling.
• As with other intravascular catheters, potential complications include vessel injury, dissection, perforation, thrombosis, vasospasm, infection, bleeding, and unintended embolization.
• MRI safety depends on the device configuration and whether the catheter remains in the patient. Follow the current labeling and institutional MRI policy; do not assume that an intravascular catheter is MR safe.
