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 Angioplasty TechnologyLeveraging medical-grade polymer and semi-compliant balloon technology, the Accuforce BD 3.25 delivers effective dilation of coronary arteries with reduced risk of vessel trauma. The balloon's compliance ensures controlled expansion, minimizing the potential for over-inflation and promoting safer outcomes for patients.
Designed for Precision and SafetyFeaturing two radiopaque marker bands and a low-tip entry profile, this catheter allows for efficient and precise balloon placement. The flexible, kink-resistant shaft design improves maneuverability in challenging anatomies, further enhancing safety and procedural control during coronary interventions.
FAQ's of Terumo Accuforce PTCA Dilatation Catheter (BD 3.25):
Q: How is the Terumo Accuforce PTCA Dilatation Catheter used during a coronary angioplasty procedure?
A: The catheter is introduced into the coronary artery using a compatible 0.014" (0.36 mm) guidewire. It is advanced to the target site, where the semi-compliant balloon is inflated manually to dilate narrowed vessel segments, restoring blood flow as part of coronary artery disease treatment.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the Accuforce BD 3.25 compared to other catheters?
A: Its semi-compliant balloon provides controlled dilation, while radiopaque markers and a low-tip entry profile ensure accurate placement. The flexible, kink-resistant shaft enhances navigation, reducing procedure time and improving safety throughout angioplasty.
Q: When should this catheter be used and what conditions does it treat?
A: This device is indicated for use during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) to dilate coronary arteries affected by atherosclerotic lesions, helping manage symptoms or complications of coronary artery disease.
Q: Where should the Terumo Accuforce PTCA Catheters be stored before use?
A: To maintain sterility and shelf life, these catheters should be stored in a cool, dry place, in their individually packed sterile pouch, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Q: What process ensures the sterility and safety of the Accuforce BD 3.25 Catheter?
A: Each catheter undergoes ethylene oxide sterilization and is packaged in a sealed, sterile pouch. The product is latex-free, minimizing the risk of allergies, and each unit's expiry date is clearly indicated on the packaging to ensure safe usage.
Q: Can the Accuforce BD 3.25 Catheter be reused for multiple procedures?
A: No, this catheter is designed strictly for single-use. After the procedure, it should be disposed of according to medical waste protocols to maintain patient safety and prevent cross-contamination.
