Invader™ PTCA Balloon Catheter

INVADER™ PTCA Balloon Catheter

Lowest Entry Profile for Difficult Lesions
The Invader™ PTCA Balloon Catheter has the lowest entry profile and the optimum balloon profile appropriate for subtotal lesions. Hydrophilic coated shaft and carbon reinforced inner lumen provides effective crossability and pushability.

Product Specifications

The INVADER™ PTCA dilatation 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™ PTCA Balloon Catheter has a soft tip which provides extra flexibility to the catheter. This tip reduces balloon’s tip profile and it assures a soft crossing.
Invader™ PTCA Balloon Catheter; provides 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.

Product Advantages

	Tip Form The Invader™ PTCA Balloon Catheter’s oval-shaped soft tip provides a safe and easy entry into the lesion.
	Homogeneous Balloon Expansion The Invader™ PTCA Balloon Catheter is designed to provide homogeneous balloon expansion throughout the entire balloon length.
	Tri-Folding Technique The Invader™ PTCA Balloon Catheter is folded with Tri-folding technique –which was developed by Alvimedica. This technique allows the balloon to return to it its its initial shape after deflation. ATMS Fold Technique With the Tri-folding process, the wrapped balloon goes into an advanced thermal memory shape (ATMS) state which provides a 20% decrease in the balloon’s profile and increases the balloon’s rewrapping tendency.
	Pushability The Invader™ PTCA Balloon Catheter has a highly improved pushability due to its carbon reinforced inner lumen and its hydrophilic coating.
	Marker Band Design Special marker band design assures a minimal cross section resistance when entering into the occlusion with the balloon catheter.
	Inflation / Deflation Time & Balloon Profile Invader™ PTCA Balloon Catheter’s smart design and its effective micro assembly allow this catheter to have the shortest possible inflation/deflation time for a safe procedure.
	Pressure Compliance The durable, semi-compliant balloon material allows a high pressure dilatation with the complete sizing control. This makes Invader™ PTCA Balloon Catheter a perfect choice for complex PTCA cases. Crossability Flexible balloon material, low resistant gold markers and soft pebax tip assures a soft crossing and reduced entry profile. The tip entry and crossing profiles are designed to access and cross the tortuous lesions with maximum pushability and with the least resistance.
