Coronary angioplasty catheter, River CTO

Coronary angioplasty catheter manufactured by the Balton Company is a „Rapid Exchange” catheter with a high pressure semi-compliant balloon near the distal tip.

The distal section of the catheter is dual lumen. The outer lumen is used for inflation of the balloon, and the inner lumen is used for guide wire (.014” / 0.36 mm). The proximal section of the catheter is a single-lumen.

Catheter includes a radiopaque markers aids in the precision placement of the catheter’s balloon in a vessel.

Intended purpose:

Coronary angioplasty catheter RIVER CTO is indicated for improving lumen area of coronary vessels small in diameter or totally occluded. The catheter is especially indicated in the percutaneous revascularization of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO).
