SC balloon dilatation catheters for PTCA

Ryurei™ (Terumo) and Xperience Pro (iVascular) are semi-compliant PTCA balloon catheters designed for predilatation of stenoses. These models feature an ultra-low crossing profile and enhanced hydrophilic coating, ensuring high trackability through the tightest and most tortuous lesions and enabling rapid and safe vessel expansion before stenting.
Drug-eluting coronary stent systems

Ultimaster Tansei™, Ultimaster Nagomi™ (Terumo), and Angiolite (iVascular) coronary stent systems combine advanced delivery technologies, drug coating, and a wide range of solutions for the treatment of both standard and complex coronary lesions. Their key advantages include high flexibility, precise positioning, the ability to be significantly overexpanded for optimal adaptation in vessels of different diameters, and the availability of long stents for the treatment of extended lesions. The efficacy and safety of these stent systems have been confirmed by clinical studies and everyday interventional practice.
NC balloon dilatation catheters for PTCA

Accuforce™ (Terumo) and NC Xperience (iVascular) are high-pressure non-compliant balloon catheters intended for post-dilatation of stents. Both models are characterized by high burst resistance, allowing safe expansion of even heavily calcified lesions while minimizing the risk of vessel wall injury beyond the stent.
Drug-coated balloon dilatation catheters

Essential (iVascular) is a paclitaxel-coated balloon catheter developed for the treatment of in-stent restenosis and de novo lesions in small vessels. Its effectiveness is ensured by coating technology that provides rapid drug release and stable concentration within the arterial wall, preventing excessive tissue proliferation.
Coronary cutting balloon catheters

Naviscore (iVascular) is a specialized scoring balloon intended for the preparation of complex calcified lesions before stenting. Its main advantage is the presence of external metallic elements that create focused pressure when the balloon is inflated, producing micro-incisions on the plaque surface. This ensures controlled vessel expansion at lower pressure, significantly reducing the risk of dissections compared with standard dilatation catheters.
Aspiration catheters

Eliminate (Terumo) and Capturer (iVascular) are highly effective aspiration catheters intended for rapid thrombus removal by mechanical thrombectomy. Both models have an enlarged inner lumen for maximum suction power and combine excellent flexibility with high trackability, allowing rapid restoration of blood flow even in complex and tortuous vessel segments.
Microcatheters

Finecross MG (Terumo) and Navitian (iVascular) are high-tech microcatheters for navigation in tortuous vessels and guidewire support in complex occlusions. Finecross is recognized as a standard due to its unique combination of hydrophilic coating and stainless-steel braided shaft, which обеспечивает maximum trackability. Navitian offers similar characteristics, with emphasis on an atraumatic flexible tip and high kink resistance, making it an effective and maneuverable alternative for precision interventions.
