APRO®* 55 intermediate catheter
The APRO®* 55 intermediate catheter has a hydrophilic coated distal segment to aid navigation through vasculature during neurovascular procedures.
Description
The APRO®* 55 intermediate catheter:
- Offers excellent navigation to the target location with ease†,‡,1
- Is highly supportive for device delivery versus SOFIA™* 5F†,§,2
- Provides additional room for contrast when using a 0.071" guide catheter versus smaller intermediate catheters3
Features
1. Excellent navigation to get to the target location with ease†,‡,1
The coil and braid design has been shown to navigate efficiently to support reaching the target location.†,‡,1,4
APRO®* catheter’s unique Coil + Braid design at the tip optimizes navigability.†,§,1
2. Highly supportive for device delivery versus SOFIA™* 5F†,§,2
69% less kickback shown when deploying Pipeline™ Flex embolization device with Shield Technology™ using APRO®* intermediate catheter versus SOFIA™* 5F†,§,2
3. Additional room for contrast when using an 0.071" guide catheter3
