Description
An angiographic or diagnostic catheter is intended for
use in angiographic procedures. It delivers radiopaque media and therapeutic
agents to selected sites in the vascular system. It is also used to lead a
guidewire or a catheter into the target site.
Radifocus Optitorque, a full line of angiographic catheters designed for easy
manipulation.
Characteristics
High-torque design and precise manipulation1
The catheter's ultra-thin wall creates a large lumen to enable a short injection time2
The Tiger and BLK curves enable angiography of right and left coronary arteries using either a radial or brachial approach. This single catheter concept decreases procedure and fluoroscopy times, providing both procedural and cost-efficiency3
