GUIDING CATHETER EKARI

Product Overview

IMPROVED BACK UP SUPPORT*1

Catheter designed to use contralateral wall resulting in enhanced back-up support.

UNIVERSAL SHAPE (IKARI LEFT) *2

Offer capability of accessing the right and left coronary arteries, potentially avoiding catheter exchanges.

DESIGN FOR SAFETY

Soft tip to reduce damage to the vessel wall

J Invasive Cardio. 2005 Dec; 17(12): 636-641.*2: Youssef AA, Hsieh YK, Cheng CI, We CJ. A single trans-radial guiding catheter for right and left coronary angiography and intervention. Euro intervention 2007; 3: 475-481.

Patients who have had cardiac catheterization or coronary angioplasty often are required to stay in bed with restricted movement for three to 24 hours afterward to prevent bleeding from the femoral artery catheter insertion site.

Features and Benefits

Improved back up support in comparison to Terumo standard femoral guiding catheter shapes*1

*1: Based on comparative studies made among Terumo Guiding Catheters*2: Ekari Y, Nagaoka M, Kim JY, Merino Y, Tanabe T.

Guide catheters are required for all coronary interventions to provide access to the coronary ostium and support equipment delivery. The ideal guide provides stability for device advancement through the coronary anatomy, while minimizing vessel trauma and allowing for vessel opacification.

The catheter is guided to the narrowed artery. Then, a smaller balloon catheter is inserted through the flexible catheter and inflated at the narrowed area to open it. Often, the doctor will also place a mesh coil called a stent at the narrowed part to help keep the artery open.
