Ryujin Plus OTW is intended for use during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for the purpose of improving myocardial blood flow in the localized stenotic lesion of the coronary arteries.Ryujin Plus OTW is a PTCA balloon dilatation catheter with a coaxial system utilizing innovative Ryujin technologies. Long shaft model (usable catheter length: 148 cm) makes it possible to reach very distal lesions.
Accurate and Controlled DilatationDesigned for optimal performance in coronary angioplasty, the Ryujin Plus OTW catheter offers highly precise balloon sizing, inflation control, and dual marker bands for enhanced accuracy in positioning. Its semi-compliant nylon balloon material ensures consistent results, even in challenging lesions.
Innovative Design for Enhanced DeliverabilityThe tapered tip and hydrophilic coating facilitate smoother vessel crossing and improved trackability, reducing procedure time and risk. The lightweight, single-use device is compatible with 0.014" guidewires and 5 French guiding catheters, making it versatile for different intervention scenarios.
Safe, Reliable, and Easy to UsePackaged sterile and free from latex, the catheter supports real-time manual operation in a silent, controlled environment. Shelf-stable for up to three years, the Ryujin Plus is simple to handle and store, with easy-to-follow instructions and robust, silent performance during cardiovascular procedures.
FAQ's of Terumo Ryujin Plus OTW PTCA Dilatation Catheter (BL 15):
Q: How is the Terumo Ryujin Plus OTW PTCA Dilatation Catheter used during coronary angioplasty?
A: The catheter is guided over a 0.014" guidewire through a 5 French catheter to the stenosed artery, where its balloon is precisely positioned, inflated to nominal or rated burst pressure, and deflated to dilate the blockage and restore blood flow.
Q: What are the balloon diameter and length options available for the Ryujin Plus OTW PTCA catheter?
A: This catheter model (BL 15) features a balloon diameter of 1.5 mm and length options of 8 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm, allowing tailored selection based on vessel morphology and lesion length.
Q: When should I use the Ryujin Plus OTW catheter for cardiovascular interventions?
A: It is indicated for use in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty procedures requiring precise dilatation of stenosed coronary arteries, especially when enhanced deliverability and low crossing profile are needed.
Q: Where should the Ryujin Plus OTW PTCA catheter be stored before use?
A: Store the catheter in its sterile, single-use packaging, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain integrity and shelf life.
Q: What process ensures safe and effective inflation of the catheter balloon?
A: The balloon is inflated gradually using a compatible inflation device, monitoring the pressure to stay within the nominal (8 atm) and rated burst pressure (14 atm) limits for safety and optimal dilatation.
Q: What benefits does the Ryujin Plus OTW PTCA catheter offer during procedures?
A: Benefits include high precision in sizing and inflation, enhanced deliverability, ease of vessel crossing, and excellent trackability due to the hydrophilic coating and tapered tip, contributing to successful outcomes.
Q: Is the Ryujin Plus OTW catheter a reusable device?
A: No, the catheter is intended for single-use only, ensuring sterility and performance for each procedure, and should be properly discarded after use.
