TrailBlazer™ support catheter

TrailBlazer™ support catheter and TrailBlazer™ angled support catheter are single lumen catheters designed for use in the peripheral vascular system.

Description

Access and cross lesions in the peripheral vessels with the TrailBlazer™ support and TrailBlazer™ angled support catheters. Use the support catheter to access and track through a vessel, enable guidewire exchanges and to deliver saline or contrast during endovascular procedures.

Use the angled version of this support catheter to direct to desired location; the braided shaft provides extra support when needed.

TrailBlazer™ support catheters are intended to guide and support a guide wire during access of the vasculature, allow for wire exchanges, and provide a conduit for the delivery of saline solutions or diagnostic contrast agents.
