Coronary balloons

NC Euphora™ noncompliant balloon dilatation catheter

The NC Euphora™ rapid exchange balloon dilatation catheter is a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) rapid exchange system. 

Description

From collaboration to innovation

When it comes to controlled, high-pressure performance, the NC Euphora™ noncompliant balloon dilatation catheter has what you’re looking for:

  • High RBP up to 20 atm1
  • Low-growth profile2
  • Superior deliverability2

In fact, we worked with nearly 2,000 interventional cardiologists and catheter lab professionals3–6 to develop it — so you can choose it with confidence for your patients.  

Features

Design advances were inspired by customer needs and insight.

We sought input from nearly 2,000 interventional cardiologists and catheter lab professionals at Medtronic-sponsored technology exchanges, advisory board meetings, scientific forums, training events, and peer-to-peer educational seminars.3–6 Then, with specific design targets in mind, we deliberately developed each balloon component to exceed your expectations and complement your expertise.4,5
