Indications for Use
The Guiding Catheter is intended for use for intravascular introduction of interventional/diagnostic devices into the coronary or peripheral vasculature.
Device Story
The Guiding Catheter is a sterile, single-use device designed for the intravascular delivery of interventional or diagnostic instruments. It features a lubricous PTFE inner liner, a stainless steel braid for structural reinforcement, and an outer shaft composed of varying durometer Polyether block amide (Pebax), Nylon, and Polyurethane. A polycarbonate hub is attached to the proximal end. The device is available in 5 French and 6 French sizes with various tip shapes (Judkins, Amplatz, Multipurpose) and a 100cm length. It is operated by a physician in a clinical setting to navigate the coronary or peripheral vasculature over a guidewire (up to 0.038"). The device provides a conduit for secondary devices, facilitating clinical procedures such as angiography or intervention. It benefits the patient by enabling precise, minimally invasive access to target vascular sites.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via ISO 10555 and internal test methods, including air/liquid leak, tensile strength, torque response, kink/buckling, and simulated use. Biocompatibility confirmed per ISO 10993. All tests met predetermined acceptance criteria for both T=0 and T=3 (accelerated aging) samples.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PTFE inner liner, stainless steel braid, Nylon/Pebax/Polyurethane outer shaft, polycarbonate hub, tungsten marker bands. Dimensions: 5F (0.070" OD, 0.058" ID) and 6F (0.082" OD, 0.070" ID), 100cm length. Principle: Over-the-wire intravascular delivery. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EtO) gas (SAL 10^-6). Standards: ISO 10555, ISO 10993, ASTM F640-12, ASTM F88/F88M-09, ASTM F1929-12, ASTM F1980-07, ISO 594.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring intravascular introduction of interventional or diagnostic devices into the coronary or peripheral vasculature.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
