    Product Highlights

    Maintain perfusion* during deep intubation¹

    Designed to optimize trans-radial approach¹

    True visibility of soft tip and transition zone¹

    Maintain perfusion* during deep intubation.¹

    • 9 circumferential perfusion holes to maintain optimal perfusion* of distal vessel and side branches.1
    • Reduce the risk of pressure damping and procedure induced ischemia.1

    Designed to optimize trans-radial approach.¹

    • 15 cm distal shaft: Increases the likelihood for ideal transition zone placement.1
    • Designed to improve navigation in the subclavian arteries.1
    • Guide zone: Eases transition by conforming to the guiding catheter in curved vessel configurations.1

    True visibility of soft tip and transition zone.¹

    • Soft radiopaque tip with true distal end visibility - Designed to be atraumatic.1
    • Radiopaque transition zone marker - For precise transition zone identification.1
