Microcatheter
Features:1. PTFE inner layer allows for smooth passage for embolic agents; |
- Outer Diameter: Typically ranges from 0.5 to 3.0 millimeters, depending on the specific application and clinical need.
- Length: Variable, tailored to accommodate different procedural requirements and patient anatomies.
- Material: Constructed from biocompatible materials such as polyurethane, nylon, or PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), ensuring compatibility with bodily tissues and minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
- Tip Configuration: Available in a variety of shapes, including straight, angled, and tapered tips, to facilitate navigation through tortuous vessels and challenging anatomical structures.
- Trackability: Engineered for enhanced maneuverability and trackability, enabling smooth advancement through complex vascular pathways.
- Angiography and Angioplasty: Microcatheters are commonly used in angiography and angioplasty procedures to access and treat narrow or obstructed blood vessels, such as those affected by arterial stenosis or occlusions.
- Embolization: Microcatheters facilitate the delivery of embolic agents to block blood flow to abnormal vessels or tumors, effectively treating conditions such as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), aneurysms, and uterine fibroids.
- Thrombectomy: Microcatheters enable the mechanical or pharmacological removal of blood clots from blood vessels, restoring normal blood flow and preventing complications such as stroke or pulmonary embolism.
- Drug Delivery: Microcatheters are utilized to deliver therapeutic drugs directly to target sites within the vasculature, enabling localized treatment of conditions such as cancer, peripheral artery disease, and pulmonary hypertension.
- Vascular Access: Microcatheters provide access to the vascular system for diagnostic procedures such as angiography, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements, as well as for the placement of intravascular devices such as stents, balloons, and filters.

PTFE Liner
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer that is used as a liner in catheters due to its unique properties. PTFE has a very low coefficient of friction and is a highly durable material with excellent tensile strength. Catheter liners made of PTFE can withstand the stresses of use in medical devices and resist breaking or tearing.
PTFE is used as a liner in catheters because it provides a smooth, low-friction surface that helps reduce the risk of infection and tissue damage. They are also biocompatible so that most people won’t experience an allergic reaction or any negative response.
