ULTRASOUND GEL
Ultrasound gel is the best medium to achieve these functions. It transfers ultrasound waves between the patient’s skin and the transducer and reduces the mismatch of acoustic impedance as it has matching acoustic impedance with soft tissues (1.5 MRayls) for complete transmission of ultrasound waves.

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.

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

The physics of guiding catheters for the left coronary artery in transfemoral and trans-radial interventions. J Invasive Cardio. 2005 Dec; 17(12): 636-641.*3: 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.
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.

Glide sheath
Product overview
Expanding trans-radial access to include more patients
- Glide sheath Slender is designed with a proprietary thin-wall technology where the outside diameter is reduced by one French size while the inner-diameter equivalent is maintained.
- Glide sheath Slender is coated with Terumo’s proprietary hydrophilic coating, allowing for smooth insertion and removal.
Features and Benefits

The proprietary thin-wall technology and Terumo M Coat hydrophilic coating
- Per the American Heart Association, dedicated radial sheaths with hydrophilic coating combined with smaller diameter sheaths and a tapered tip design may reduce risk of arterial spasm and radial occlusion1
- Featuring Terumo’s proprietary hydrophilic coating, the Glide sheath Slender Sheath is the only thin-wall radial sheath on the market to demonstrate superior and consistent performance in lubricity and durability over time
The Glide sheath Slender Sheath is the only thin-wall sheath that demonstrated best in class performance in all of the American Heart Association’s identified critical features that lead to reduced spasm.
THE POWER OF TERUMO GLIDE TECHNOLOGY™: LUBRICITY OVER TIMES
Hydrophilic coating is critical to procedural success, Physicians need to trust that their sheath will be just as lubricous at the end of case as it is at the beginning.
The graph below demonstrates the results of recent benchtop testing. The lower the value, the more lubricious the coating. The straighter the line, the more consistent, and reliable, the performance.
Glide sheath Slender Sheath outperformed the other competitive sheaths in both key features: lubricity and lubricity over time.

Unmatched Clinical Evidence
- A meta-analysis of 10 clinical papers, involving 3,821 patients, demonstrated that use of Glide sheath Slender Sheath is associated with high rates of procedural success and low rates in performance related issues.
- In studies measuring patient comfort, patients who underwent percutaneous trans-radial procedures with the Glide sheath Slender Sheath reported none to low amounts of pain.

OCTOPUS TISSUE STABILIZER
Octopus
Tissue Stabilizers
OCTOPUS TISSUE STABILIZERS
Our newest generation tissue stabilizer features automatic pod spread for effective visualization.
SUMMARY
OCTOPUS EVOLUTION AS – THE NEXT GENERATION TISSUE STABILIZER
The newest generation tissue stabiliser from Medtronic demonstrates an enduring commitment to the cardiac surgeon. With all the same features of the Octopus™ Evolution – enhanced stability, flexibility, and a lower profile for unlimited positioning options – the Octopus Evolution AS offers an automatic pod spread feature that enhances visibility at the anastomotic site.
- Automatic pod spread for effective visualisation of the anastomotic site
- Very secure arm for maximum stabilization
- Greater flexibility enables unlimited positioning options
- Simple, secure, one-handed attachment of clamp to the retractor
OCTOPUS EVOLUTION – LOW PROFILE WITH FLEXIBILITY AND REACH
The Octopus Evolution stabilizer provides enhanced stability, flexibility, and a lower profile for unlimited positioning options.
Enhanced stability and flexibility features:
- Improved visualisation with:
- Lower profile headlink
- Surgeon controlled pod-spread
- Allowance for multiple device positions including pods-up, pods-down and pods-to-the-side applications
- Increased flexibility and range of motion
- Longer, effective reach of the articulating arm provides easier access to all vessels
- Simple, secure, one-handed engagement of clamp and turret assembly
THE OCTOPUS 4.3 STABILISER FEATURES SUPERIOR ARM STRENGTH AND UNMATCHED STABILITY IN THE CLAMP/TURRET MECHANISM.
- Dual vacuum tubes offer superior tissue capture
- Internal cable enables arm twisting for maximum access and flexibility
- Reinforced arm links offer better stabilisation
- Whale tail tightens easily
- Swivel turret offers access while maximising visualisation
- Head lock design allows “toes up” position, pod spread and bend
- Rigid clamp designed to eliminate rocking
OCTOPUS 4 – EXCELLENT STABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY
The Octopus 4 tissue stabiliser includes innovative features, such as clear, malleable pods combined with a smaller diameter, more flexible arm, and an ultra-low headlink profile.
- Pod spreading optimises sewing space and stability of anastomotic site
- Reduced headlink profile improves visibility of surgical site
- Rigid, multi-material arm reduces movement at the anastomotic site
- Smaller diameter, more flexible arm offers greater flexibility in positioning
- Smaller, color-coded whale tail provides minimal obstruction
- Single vacuum tubing line minimises obstruction
- Innovative turret design increases effective arm reach, dramatically increasing positioning options with 360-degree movement
