DolphinPro Support Catheter

A crossing support catheter for complex peripheral or coronary lesions, featuring a reinforced shaft and hydrophilic coating to ease device delivery.

DolphinPro Support Catheter by Invamed is specifically engineered to cross complex lesions in difficult anatomies during femoro-popliteal and below-the-knee procedures. Its robust stainless steel double-braiding ensures a kink-resistant design with exceptional torque control, allowing seamless navigation through tortuous vessels. By featuring a small crossing profile, DolphinPro delivers unparalleled support and pushability, facilitating successful lesion crossing and enabling telescope technique in endovascular interventions.

Stainless Steel Double-Braiding

A unique multi-layer shaft construction combines kink resistance with dynamic torque control, providing stable maneuverability even in challenging anatomical routes.

Seamlessly transfers applied force from the proximal shaft to the distal tip, aiding clinicians in tackling complex, heavily calcified or eccentric lesions without compromising on control.

Minimizes friction and vessel trauma, improving guidewire-to-catheter transitions. This design optimizes trackability within narrow below-the-knee vessels or severe occlusive segments.

DolphinPro’s flexible distal segment and supportive proximal section facilitate telescope approach, helping operators reach distal lesions and perform targeted interventions under precise control.

Ideal for femoro-popliteal occlusions, tibioperoneal blockages, or challenging SFA lesions, where high pushability and low-profile crossing are crucial to procedural success.

  • Extreme vessel tortuosity or diameter below specification
  • Active infection or severe vessel dissection precluding wire-based recanalization
  • Patient conditions contraindicating endovascular procedures
