The great balance between high pressure and high resistance, accurate dilatation and advanced deliverability. Accuforce is the latest generation of non-compliant PTCA balloons.
Advanced Balloon PerformanceThe Accuforce PTCA Dilatation Catheter stands out for its non-compliant balloon, designed to provide precise and controlled dilation of coronary artery stenoses. The balloon's low crossing profile and enhanced pushability allow for superior navigation in challenging vessels, while maintaining high accuracy under rated pressures.
Precision and Safety FeaturesEquipped with dual radiopaque marker bands, this catheter ensures reliable positioning under fluoroscopy. Its hydrophilic coating delivers smooth passage, reducing friction and optimizing safety during procedures. Sterile EO packaging and high-strength, dual-layer shaft maximize both safety and performance for interventional cardiologists.
Ease of Use and VersatilityLightweight and portable, the Accuforce catheter is compatible with 0.014" guidewires and suitable for a wide range of coronary anatomies. Its transparent/white medical-grade polymer construction facilitates visualization and handling, making it ideal for a variety of clinical settings across interventional cardiology.
FAQ's of Terumo Accuforce PTCA Dilatation Catheter (BD 2.75):
Q: How is the Terumo Accuforce PTCA Dilatation Catheter used during a procedure?
A: The catheter is introduced via a suitable vascular access point and navigated through the coronary arteries using a compatible 0.014" guidewire. Upon reaching the stenotic segment, the balloon is inflated to dilate the narrowed area, with nominal and rated burst pressures guiding safe expansion.
Q: What are the benefits of the non-compliant balloon design in this catheter?
A: Non-compliant balloon technology ensures predictable and precise dilation, minimizing over-expansion risks. This feature is particularly advantageous for treating resistant stenoses, as it allows for controlled expansion at higher pressures without excessive balloon growth.
Q: When should this PTCA catheter be utilized in clinical practice?
A: The Accuforce catheter is indicated for use during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty procedures, specifically when there is a need to dilate coronary artery stenoses. It is suitable for use in both elective and emergency cardiac interventions.
Q: Where can the Accuforce catheter be procured?
A: The catheter is available from authorized dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, traders, and wholesalers throughout India. It is important to ensure procurement from reputable sources to guarantee authenticity and sterility.
Q: What process ensures the precision of balloon sizing during procedures?
A: This catheter features precision-engineered balloon sizing and two radiopaque markers, enabling accurate placement and expansion at the target lesion. The high-strength, dual-layer shaft enhances control during navigation and inflation.
Q: How does the hydrophilic coating benefit the operator during angioplasty?
A: The specialized hydrophilic coating lowers surface friction, facilitating easier catheter advancement and reducing the risk of vessel trauma, thereby improving the overall procedural success and patient safety.
Q: What storage requirements should be observed for this catheter?
A: To maintain sterility and performance, store the device in a cool, dry place below 25C, protected from direct sunlight. Proper storage extends shelf life up to three years from the date of manufacture.
