Medical Device Types
1 – NaviCross™ Support Catheter
The NaviCross™ Support Catheter is a medical device used in the field of interventional cardiology. It is designed to help guide and support other devices, such as guidewires or balloon catheters, during procedures to treat coronary artery disease.
The device itself is a thin, flexible tube made of a material called polyurethane. It is about 150 centimeters long and has a diameter of 0.014 inches. One end of the catheter is inserted into the patient’s femoral artery, which is located in the groin area, and then threaded up to the heart. The other end of the catheter is attached to a handle that the doctor uses to control the device.
The NaviCross™ Support Catheter has several features that make it useful in interventional cardiology procedures. First, it has a tapered tip that helps it navigate through narrow and tortuous blood vessels. Second, it has a hydrophilic coating that reduces friction and makes it easier to advance through the arteries. Finally, it has a radiopaque marker at the tip that allows the doctor to see its position on X-ray or fluoroscopy images.
