The NHancer™Rx is a dual lumen catheter intended to use in the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature. The NHancer™Rx is a 0.014” Rapid Exchange (Rx) guide wire support catheter. The NHancer™Rx has an over the wire (OTW) lumen that runs the length of the catheter and a rapid exchange (RX) delivery lumen on the distal end. The NHancer™Rx has an effective length of 135 cm and is compatible with 0.014”/0.36mm or smaller guide wires. The NHancer™Rx has two depth markings located at 95 cm and 105 cm from the distal tip. The NHancer™Rx has a radiopaque marker identifying the distal end of the catheter and a second radiopaque marker located 8 mm from the distal tip identifies the distal end of the OTW lumen. To reduce friction in the guide catheter and vasculature, the distal 15 cm of the shaft is fitted with a hydrophilic coating. To reduce friction of the guide wire in the lumen, the entire lumens of the NHancer Rx are coated with MDX (silicone) coating. To ease catheter loading into the hemostasis device and the guiding catheter a removable stylet (9) is placed in the OTW lumen
A flexible tube intended to be used for the percutaneous transluminal passage and placement of a diagnostic/interventional catheter, lead (e.g., pacing lead, balloon dilatation catheter), needle or guidewire through its lumen(s), within the vascular system. It may be rigid or flexible, non-steerable or steerable, single or multiple lumen(s), and the distal section can have a variety of preformed shapes. It is not intended solely for infusion nor to access superselective small vessels, and does not include a transseptal needle. A percutaneous introduction set, shaft visualization electrodes, or haemostatic valve may be supplied with the guide-catheter. This is a single-use device.
