The Mi-Axus 8F Guide Catheter is a single lumen, braided, variable stiffness shaft catheter designed for use in facilitating the insertion and guidance of micro catheters into a selected blood vessel in the peripheral, coronary, or neuro vascular system. A radiopaque marker is included on the distal end. The catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating. The proximal segment is constructed with Vestamid. The distal segment of the PEBAX is impregnated with barium sulphate for increased radiopacity.
A sterile, 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), 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 of the tube can have a variety of preformed shapes (e.g., straight, hockey stick). It is not intended for infusion, is not a microcatheter (i.e., not intended to access superselective small vessels), and does not include a transseptal needle. It may include a disposable percutaneous introduction set. This is a single-use device.
