Rapid Exchange ballon catheter is designed for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of coronary arteries.The shaft of the catheter features a combination of a single lumen at the proximal end and double lumen at the distal end.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. The catheter is indicated for dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or stenosis of bypass grafts replacing coronary arteries, in order to improve myocardial perfusion. Diameter from 1.25 to 5.0 mm and lengths from 10 to 40 mm.
