Rapid Exchange ballon catheter is designed for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of coronary arteries Two radiopaque markers are fitted at each end of the balloon in order to mark its length and help the user track the device while inside the patient.The distal part of the catheter is coated with a durable hydrophilic coating (HYDRAX) that minimizes friction and improves catheter trackability. The catheter ends in a cone-shaped tip which is rounded and atraumatic in order to avoid damaging the arteries while it is being advanced. The catheter is indicated for all types of dilatation even the most calcified lesions requiring high pressure inflation to improve myocardial perfusion and for Stent post-dilatation – to enhance stent artery wall apposition and wall and improve angiographic results. Diameter from 2.0 to 5.0 mm and lengths from 6 to 30 mm.
