Catheter
Characteristics
The
NuMED NuCLEUS™ PTV
catheter is engineered for maximum steering and tracking. The coaxial
shaft design provides enhanced column strength and pushability
combined with a flexible distal tip for optimum steerability. The
innovative single balloon design facilitates positive positioning
while holding the balloon in the correct location prior to and during
inflation.
Radiopaque
Marker
Platinum
marker bands facilitate reliable positioning of the balloon and are
located at the 'waist' center and beneath the shoulders of the
balloon for clear identification under fluoroscopy.
Maximum
Trackability
The
distal shaft through the balloon is highly flexible for exceptional
maneuverability. This, combined with the pushability of the coaxial
shaft, provides outstanding tracking performance.
Micro-Thin
Non-Compliant Balloon
The
NuMED NuCLEUS™ PTV
patented design allows for accurate balloon placement. Initial
inflation will hold balloon in the desired position, further
inflation expands the center of the balloon to effect satisfactory
dilatation.
The NuMED NuCLEUS™ PTV balloon is micro-thin for a low deflated profile that maintains tip flexibility. The exceptionally low profile balloon requires the smallest introducer possible. Nominal dimensions are maintained over the entire length of the non-compliant balloon.
