DELIVERY

  • High bending resistance with excellent torque control and optimum push through from proximal shaft to the distal end.
  • Available in a variety of sizes, the AnkaCATH Catheter to diverse procedural requirements, ensuring a perfect fit for every patient.
  • The enhanced radiopacity of the sheath allows for excellent visualization under imaging, aiding clinicians in precise navigation and placement.
  • Unique hybrid braided design provides stability and support throughout the procedure, providing a sturdy yet flexible solution for expanded vascular access.
  • This design contributes to the sheath’s exceptional bending resistance, maintaining integrity even in the most demanding situations.
  • The rounded tip and flexible distal zone on the Distal Access Catheter are designed for confident advancement into fragile distal vessels.
  • The design of Distal Access Catheter is designed for closer placement to the treatment site. Focus on the intervention, not access challenges.
Variable Stiffness & Braided Shaft
  • PE/PEBAX Outer: Balances proximal rigidity for pushability with distal softness for atraumatic navigation in neurovasculature.
  • Reinforced Design: A braided core ensures torsional stability, kink resistance, and secure device passage, even in sharply curved intracranial segments.
  • Generous Inner Diameter (0.071” – 0.075”): Accommodates multiple interventional devices or larger guidewires (up to 0.035”), reducing the need for multiple catheters.
  • PTFE-Lined: Low-friction lumen supports smooth device transitions, crucial in time-sensitive stroke or aneurysm care.
  • Friction Reduction: The final centimeters of the distal segment are coated with a slippery surface, easing catheter advancement or repositioning through challenging anatomies.
  • Vessel Protection: Minimizes endothelial trauma and reduces the risk of vasospasm or dissection during repeated manipulations.
  • 1 mm Marker at 2 mm from the Distal Tip: Distinct fluoroscopic marking for precise tip placement, vital in intracranial interventions.
  • Radiopaque Distal Segment: Facilitates continuous imaging guidance under X-ray to confirm safe navigation and device deployment.
  • Proximal Profiles (4F, 5F, 6F): Offer varied support levels, addressing a range of patient anatomies and procedure complexities.
  • Usable Lengths (90 cm, 120 cm): Suitable for short or extended vascular paths, from moderate to more proximal femoral/radial entry routes.
  • Luer-Lok Hub: Securely attaches accessories (e.g., hemostatic valve, flush lines), ensuring steady control of infusions or device insertions.
