Coronary balloons

Euphora™ semicompliant balloon dilatation catheter

The Euphora™ semicompliant balloon catheter is indicated for dilatation of a stenotic coronary artery or bypass graft to improve myocardial perfusion.

Description

Advancing innovation through partnership

To develop the Euphora™ low-profile semicompliant balloon dilatation catheter, we partnered with nearly 2,000 interventional cardiologists and catheter lab professionals.1–5 The result is:

  • Superior deliverability6
  • Superb kissing balloons technique (KBT) performance7
  • Lowest crossing profile compared to leading competitors8

Features

What makes the Euphora™ balloon an excellent choice?

The Euphora™ semicompliant balloon dilatation catheter complements your expertise and provides uncompromising performance6 in the moment you need it most.

Design advances were inspired by customer needs and insight.2–4

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.1–5 Then, with specific design targets in mind, we deliberately developed each balloon component to exceed your expectations and complement your expertise. In tough cases, you can feel confident that our Euphora™ balloon will deliver.

Each element was designed for unsurpassed performance.6

From materials to design, every Euphora™ balloon component was developed to provide superior deliverability1,6 to maximize pushability and crossability.
