Eliminate is an innovative aspiration catheter designed to offer a balance between crossing performance, kink resistance and thrombus-aspiration capability.
Advanced Design for Reliable PerformanceCrafted from polyurethane and equipped with a large lumen, the Terumo Eliminate Aspiration Catheter is engineered for kink resistance and enhanced aspiration efficiency. Its soft, tapered tip facilitates smooth navigation through vessels during coronary procedures, while the radiopaque marker aids precise placement with imaging guidance. The color-coded hub design allows easy size identification and secure Luer Lock attachment, promoting efficient workflow in clinical settings.
Safe and Simple to UseThe catheter is ethylene oxide sterilized and packaged individually in sterile pouches to ensure patient safety and convenience. Its lightweight and portable profile, combined with silent and manual operation, makes it easy to handle and operate during real-time cardiovascular interventions. As a disposable, single-use device, it minimizes contamination risk and fits seamlessly into modern procedural protocols.
Efficient Thrombus Removal TechnologyImplementing manual aspiration technology, the Terumo Eliminate Aspiration Catheter is built to deliver high negative pressure and effective debris removal from coronary arteries. With compatibility for standard guidewires, users can expect straightforward integration into existing procedures. Its flexible design optimizes procedural success, reducing intervention time and improving patient outcomes.
FAQ's of Terumo Eliminate Aspiration Catheter:
Q: How is the Terumo Eliminate Aspiration Catheter used in coronary artery thrombectomy procedures?
A: The Terumo Eliminate Aspiration Catheter is inserted through vascular access and advanced with the aid of a compatible guidewire (0.014" or 0.018") to the site of the thrombus. The manual aspiration technology then enables efficient removal of thrombus and debris from the coronary arteries during intervention.
Q: What are the benefits of the soft, tapered tip and large lumen in this catheter?
A: The soft, tapered tip minimizes vessel trauma and allows for smoother navigation, while the large lumen provides enhanced aspiration efficiency. This combination results in safer and more effective thrombus removal in cardiovascular interventions.
Q: Where should the catheter be stored before use to maintain sterility?
A: To preserve sterility and prolong shelf life, the catheter should be stored in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight. Each unit is individually packed in a sterile pouch to prevent contamination.
Q: When can the catheter be safely disposed of after a procedure?
A: The Terumo Eliminate Aspiration Catheter is designed for single-use only. It should be disposed of in accordance with hospital guidelines for medical waste immediately after the procedure to prevent cross-contamination and ensure patient safety.
Q: What is the process for connecting the catheter during an intervention?
A: The catheter features a color-coded Luer Lock hub for secure attachment to aspiration syringes or tubing. The hub's design ensures a reliable, leak-free connection and allows easy identification of the catheter size during setup.
Q: How does the radiopaque marker at the distal tip assist during procedures?
A: The integrated radiopaque marker at the distal tip enhances visibility under fluoroscopy or X-ray, enabling clinicians to monitor the catheter's position in real time and ensure precise placement within the vessel.
Q: What certifications and standards does this catheter meet in India?
A: The Terumo Eliminate Aspiration Catheter holds a CE mark, ensuring adherence to international quality and safety standards. It is available for distribution by authorized dealers, suppliers, manufacturers, exporters, and traders throughout India.
