SteerCATH Steerable Catheter

SteerCATH Steerable Catheter

A steerable support catheter with deflectable tip, designed for complex or branch vessel access in coronary and peripheral interventions. Enhances crossing success in challenging anatomies.

Information

SteerCATH offers a steerable guiding catheter system engineered to improve access to difficult-to-reach vascular anatomies, streamlining diagnostic and interventional procedures across a broad range of clinical applications. By uniting flexible materials, a precise steering mechanism, and varied size options, SteerCATH enables physicians to quickly and accurately navigate complex vessel pathways, enhancing procedural efficiency and patient outcomes.

Steerable Catheter Shaft
  • Directional Control: The deflectable distal segment empowers clinicians to steer and position the catheter tip with finesse, minimizing the need for multiple device exchanges.
  • Optimized Flexibility: Allows for smooth transitions through challenging anatomies, reducing vessel trauma and risk of intimal dissection.
  • 4F to 14F: Accommodates a variety of procedural requirements, from diagnostic imaging to interventional therapies.
  • Secure Device Compatibility: Maintains sufficient lumen space for contrast injection, wire exchanges, or ancillary device delivery.
  • Usable Lengths: 45 cm, 55 cm, or 90 cm, offering flexibility to handle short or long vascular anatomies.
  • Enhanced Reach: Extends the catheter’s operational range to deeper vessels, facilitating improved lesion access or distal interventions.
  • Robust Shaft Construction: Balances pushability and torque control, ensuring stable navigation in tortuous vessels.
  • Smooth Inner Lumen: Minimizes friction when advancing guidewires or device components, contributing to reduced procedure times.
