Paclitaxel-releasing coronary dilation balloon catheter

INDICATIONS
Catheter balloon with Paclitaxel release with Rapid Exchange (RX) design, indicated for dilation with balloon of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or the stenosis of substitutive bypass grafts of coronary arteries, including small vessels, as well as for residual stenosis after treatment with balloon and endoprosthesis and pre- and post-dilation of coronary endovascular prostheses, for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion.

DESCRIPTION
The catheter body has a proximal simple lumen and distal coaxial lumen: The simple lumen is comprised of a hypotube that gives the catheter high pushing ability and allows the passing of inflation liquid from the Luer connector to the balloon. The coaxial lumen has two functions:
– Internal passage lumen as guide for the wire.
– External inflation lumen in direct connection with the hypotube.

The balloon, or inflatable segment of known diameter and length, is found at the distal end. The balloon is outlined by radiopaque markers and ends in a smooth and atraumatic tip.

The balloon is coated in the drug Paclitaxel, including a physiologically innocuous matrix.

It is outlined by radiopaque markers at proximal end, and it ends in a smooth and atraumatic tip.

The balloon is coated in the drug Paclitaxel, including a physiologically innocuous matrix.

The Luer connector is found at the proximal end, for connecting to different accessories.
