An angiographic or diagnostic catheter is intended for use in angiographic procedures. It delivers radiopaque media and therapeutic agents to selected sites in the vascular system. It is also used to lead a guidewire or a catheter into the target site. Radifocus Optitorque, a full line of angiographic catheters designed for easy manipulation.
Precision and Safety in Diagnostic AngiographyThis catheter offers exceptional safety through its soft, hydrophilic-coated tip, which minimizes vessel trauma during procedures. The radiopaque marker enhances visibility under fluoroscopy, ensuring precise placement and accurate diagnostic delivery of contrast media.
Versatile Design and Multiple Tip OptionsChoose from a range of French sizes (4 Fr, 5 Fr, and 6 Fr) and various tip configurations to suit coronary, neurovascular, or peripheral angiography needs. Its stiff body provides torque control for optimal navigation, while the transparent shaft and colored tip ensure easy identification.
Sterile, Single-Use, and Trusted ComplianceEach catheter is individually packed in a sterile pouch, EO gas sterilized, and ready for immediate use. The product meets rigorous CE Mark and FDA standards, offering reliability for hospitals, clinics, and surgical centers across India.
FAQ's of Terumo Radifocus Optitorque Angiographic Catheter:
Q: How do I select the appropriate tip configuration for my angiographic procedure?

Q: What is the recommended process for storing the Terumo Radifocus Optitorque Angiographic Catheter?
A: Store the catheter in its unopened, sterile pouch in a cool, dry place. This practice maintains sterility and preserves product integrity, supporting the catheter's shelf life of up to 3 years.
Q: When should the catheter be used during diagnostic angiography?
A: Use the catheter during the diagnostic phase when real-time delivery of contrast media into coronary, peripheral, or neurovascular vessels is required, enabling visualization under fluoroscopy.
Q: Where can the catheter be applied, and who benefits from its usage?
A: The catheter is suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, and specialized diagnostic centers. Interventional cardiologists, radiologists, and vascular specialists benefit from its versatility and precision during angiographic procedures.
Q: What are the patient safety advantages of the hydrophilic-coated tip and soft tip design?
A: The hydrophilic-coated tip minimizes friction during advancement, while the soft tip reduces the risk of vessel trauma, making insertion and navigation safer for patients.
Q: How does the radiopaque marker assist during angiographic procedures?
A: The radiopaque marker provides clear visualization under fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to monitor catheter position accurately and perform precise diagnostic procedures.
Q: Is the catheter compatible with all types of power sources or operating systems?
A: No, the catheter is manual and does not require any power source. Its design supports real-time operation by hand, connecting via a standard Luer lock for reliable procedural use.
