Invader™ CTO Balloon Catheter

INVADER™ CTO Balloon Catheter

Designed to Cross Chronic Total Occlusion
0.40 mm diameter soft tip form is designed to cross Chronic Total Occlusions.The Invader™ CTO Balloon Catheter provides an easy access through totally occluded coronary arteries with a 0.0158” oval shaped soft tip design.

Product Specifications

The Invader™ CTO Balloon Catheter is designed to be used in dilating the stenotic atherosclerotic lesions in coronary arteries and in bypass graft surgeries. The dilating part of the catheter is the balloon located near the distal tip.

The catheter’s proximal tip is used as the balloon’s inflating port. The balloon is inflated by injecting a contrast material from this tip. The balloon’s material is capable of reaching a certain size at a certain pressure.

Invader™ CTO Balloon Catheter has a soft tip which provides extra flexibility to the catheter. This tip reduces balloon’s tip profile and it assures an easy crossing through CTO’s.
The catheter has a high breaking point of rupture.
Invader™ CTO Balloon Catheter; provides a good pushability and trackability.
Hydrophilic coating reduces friction.
Carbon reinforced inner lumen enhances catheter’s pushability through the guidewire.
27cm part of the distal shaft is used as both catheter lumen and guidewire lumen.
Recommended guidewire: 0.014”.
Tip Profile: 0.0158”.
Tip Length: 1.5 mm.
Proximal Shaft 2.4F. Distal Shaft 2.7F.
Balloon: Polyamide, Semi-compliant. Rapid Exchange (Monorail).
One high radiopaque gold marker in the middle of the balloon.
Nominal Pressure: 6 atm. Minimum Burst Pressure: 14 atm
Balloon Diameters: 1.25 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm.
Balloon Lengths: 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm.

Product Advantages

	Tip Form 0.40 mm diameter soft tip form is designed to cross Chronic Total Occlusions.
	Soft Crossing The combination of the balloon material, a soft tip design and the centrally located minimum cross section resistance bearing gold marker band provides a soft crossing to theInvader™ CTO Balloon Catheter.
	Homogeneous Balloon Expansion The Invader™ CTO Balloon Catheter is designed to provide homogeneous balloon expansion throughout the entire balloon length.
	Tri-Folding Technique The Invader™ CTO Balloon Catheter is folded with a Tri-folding technique –which was developed by Alvimedica. This technique allows the balloon to return to its initial shape after deflation. ATMS Folding Technique With the Tri-folding process, the wrapped balloon goes into an advanced thermal memory shaping (ATMS) state which provides 20% decrease in the balloon’s profile and increases the balloon’s rewrapping tendency.
	Flexibility TheInvader™ CTO Balloon Catheter has a high flexibility due to its balloon material and annealed hypotube design. Pushability The Invader CTO™ Balloon Catheter has a highly improved pushability due to its carbon reinforced inner lumen and its strong shaft coated with hydrophilic.
	Marker Band Design Special marker band design assures a minimal cross section resistance when entering into the occlusion with the balloon catheter.
	Pressure Compliance The durable, semi-compliant balloon material allows a high pressure dilatation with complete sizing control. This makes theInvader™ CTO Balloon Catheter a perfect choice for CTO cases. Crossing Profile Low profile tip, extra support shaft design and flexible balloon material ensure easy access and an easy crossing through the Chronic Total Occlusions with maximum crossability and the least resistance.
