HW558

The TransForm Occlusion Balloon Catheter consists of a single lumen catheter shaft with a balloon attached at the distal end. The balloon is available in a compliant version and a super compliant version. Radiopaque markers are located at the proximal and distal ends of the balloon to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The balloon catheter is recommended for use with a Stryker Neurovascular 0.014 in (0.36 mm) guidewire to seal the distal segment of the catheter lumen allowing inflation of the balloon. The guidewire can be moved distally or proximally once beyond the distal tip (seal portion) of the catheter and still maintain a positive seal for inflating the balloon. The distal outer segment of the catheter shaft is coated with a hydrophilic material that reduces friction during manipulation in the vessel. A luer fitting hub at the proximal end of the catheter is used for the attachment of accessories.
