Venture Wire Control Catheter Model Wcc

FDA-Cleared Indications

• Facilitation of guidewire placement and control during percutaneous vascular procedures.
• Use within the vascular system under fluoroscopic or other appropriate imaging guidance.
• Intended for use with compatible guidewires and catheter-based interventional procedures.

Clinical Applications

• Guidewire placement during percutaneous vascular interventions.
• Controlled guidewire navigation through tortuous or difficult vascular anatomy.
• Wire manipulation during catheter-based treatment of vascular lesions.
• Use in interventional catheterization procedures where directional control of a guidewire is needed.

Reported off-label uses

• Use in selected chronic total occlusion crossing techniques when the device and anatomy are appropriate; this may extend beyond the specific FDA-cleared labeling and should follow institutional protocols.

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 catheter is available in different sizes and configurations; the selected model must match the target vessel, access route, and compatible guidewire.
• Use requires fluoroscopic or other appropriate imaging guidance and operators trained in percutaneous vascular intervention.
• Inspect the catheter and packaging before use, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for advancing, steering, flushing, and withdrawing the device.
• MRI safety depends on the exact device configuration and labeling; do not assume MRI compatibility without verifying the current manufacturer’s instructions.
• Potential risks are typical of percutaneous vascular catheterization and may include bleeding, infection, vessel injury, thrombosis, embolization, perforation, and inability to cross the intended lesion.
