The great balance between high pressure and high resistance, accurate dilatation and advanced deliverability. Accuforce is the latest generation of non-compliant PTCA balloons.
Precision and Safety in Coronary ProceduresWith its semi-compliant balloon and rated burst pressure up to 18 atm, the Terumo Accuforce PTCA Dilatation Catheter ensures both reliability and safety. The atraumatic tip, combined with radiopaque marker bands, supports consistent lesion crossing while maintaining high visibility under fluoroscopy during procedures.
User-Friendly Design and HandlingEngineered for efficient navigation through coronary arteries, the catheter features a flexible dual lumen shaft and rapid exchange compatibility. Its lightweight construction and transparent body with color markers boost ease of handling and positioning, helping clinicians achieve accurate balloon sizing and optimal inflation control.
FAQ's of Terumo Accuforce PTCA Dilatation Catheter (BD 3.00):
Q: How is the Terumo Accuforce PTCA Dilatation Catheter used during coronary angioplasty procedures?
A: This catheter is utilized to dilate narrowed segments of coronary arteries by inflating its semi-compliant balloon to precise diameters. Its tapered tip and flexible shaft design facilitate smooth and safe navigation across challenging lesions.
Q: What balloon sizes and lengths are available for this catheter model?
A: The Terumo Accuforce BD 3.00 features a balloon diameter of 3.00 mm, with available lengths typically including 12 mm, 15 mm, and other options. These variations allow adaptation to different lesion morphologies during coronary interventions.
Q: When should this catheter be used and who is authorized to use it?
A: This device is intended for use in coronary angioplasty procedures to treat arterial stenosis. It is classified for prescription-only usage, meaning it should be operated by qualified medical professionals, such as interventional cardiologists.
Q: Where does the Terumo Accuforce catheter provide improved visualization during procedures?
A: Enhanced visualization is achieved through its radiopaque marker bands, which clearly demarcate balloon location under fluoroscopy, assisting clinicians in accurately positioning the device within the coronary anatomy.
Q: What are the sterilization and packaging specifications for this catheter?
A: The catheter is sterilized using ethylene oxide (EtO) and comes in a sterile, single pouch. This ensures optimal infection control and patient safety during interventional use.
Q: How does the tip design benefit lesion crossing in coronary arteries?
A: The tapered, atraumatic tip is engineered for ease of crossing tight or complex lesions, minimizing trauma to arterial walls and facilitating smoother catheter advancement.
Q: What maintenance or storage instructions should be followed for this product?
A: Store the catheter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Follow standard medical device protocols and respect the product's 3-year shelf life for optimal performance and safety.
