Turquoise™ PTCA Balloon Catheter

TURQUOISE™ PTCA Balloon Catheter

Flexible Balloon Material Ensures Effective Crossability
The Tri-folding technique of the balloon provides Turquoise™ PTCA Balloon Catheter with homogeneous balloon expansion and vessel conformity. The flexibility of the balloon’s material ensures effective crossability.

Product Specifications

Alvimedica’s TURQUOISE™ PTCA dilatation catheter is designed to be used in dilating the stenotic atherosclerotic lesions in coronary arteries and in bypass graft surgeries.

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.

TURQUOISE™ PTCA Balloon Catheter; provides good pushability and trackability.
Hydrophilic coating reduces friction.
Carbon reinforced inner lumen enhances the catheter’s pushability through the guidewire.
27cm part of the distal shaft is used as both catheter lumen and guidewire lumen.
Maximum guidewire: 0.014”.
Proximal Shaft 2.4F. Distal Shaft 2.7F.
Tip Profile: 0.017”.
Balloon catheter shaft: 150 cm
Balloon: Polyamide, Semi-compliant. Rapid Exchange (Monorail).
Two gold markers at the proximal and distal parts of the balloon.
Nominal Pressure: 8 atm. Rated Burst Pressure: 16 atm.
Balloon Diameters: 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.75 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm.
Balloon Lengths: 8mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 17 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, 34 mm.

Product Advantages

	Homogeneous Balloon Expansion TheTurquoise™ PTCA Balloon Catheter is designed to provide homogeneous balloon expansion throughout the entire balloon length.
	Tip Form TheTurquoise™ PTCA Balloon Catheter’s oval shaped inner lumen provides a safe and easy entry into the lesion.
	Tri-Folding Technique The Turquoise™ PTCA Balloon Catheter is folded with aTri-folding technique,developed by Alvimedica. This technique allows the balloon to return to 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... Crossability & Balloon Profile The flexibility of the balloon’s material and the low balloon profile ensures maximum crossability. Pushability The hydrophilic coating of the shaft and carbon reinforced inner lumen are combined to improve pushability.
	Special Marker 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 The Turquoise™ 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 complete sizing control. This makes Turquoise™ PTCA Balloon Catheter a perfect choice for complex PTCA cases.
