Ryujin Plus rapid exchange balloon catheter 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. This device is designed for crossing routine lesions without compromising trackability.
Superior Design for Complex AngioplastyThe Ryujin Plus features enhanced crossability and a low tip entry profile, enabling precise navigation through intricate coronary lesions. Its semi-compliant balloon material allows for controlled dilation, while the high-pressure tolerance delivers effective treatment outcomes, even for difficult cases.
Versatile Balloon Lengths & CompatibilityAvailable in balloon lengths of 10, 15, and 20 mm, this catheter adapts to individual procedural needs. Compatible with 0.014-inch guidewires, its flexible yet sturdy design suits a wide range of coronary anatomies, affording interventional cardiologists greater procedural freedom.
Safety, Accuracy, and Ease of UseThe catheter's lightweight build, sterile single-use packaging, and high accuracy in balloon deployment ensure safety and reliability during angioplasty. Its transparent shaft and blue-tipped design facilitate visual confirmation, while manual control supports real-time operation and precision.
FAQ's of Terumo Ryujin Plus PTCA Dilatation Catheter (BD 2.25):
Q: How is the Terumo Ryujin Plus PTCA Dilatation Catheter used during coronary angioplasty?
A: This catheter is inserted into the coronary artery through a guidewire and advanced to the site of stenosis. The balloon is then carefully inflated to dilate the narrowed segment, restoring blood flow and reducing symptoms related to coronary artery disease.
Q: What benefits does the Ryujin Plus offer for complex lesions?
A: The enhanced crossability and low tip profile of the Ryujin Plus allow smooth navigation through tortuous or calcified vessels, making it particularly effective for treating challenging and complex coronary lesions during angioplasty procedures.
Q: When should the different balloon lengths be selected for treatment?
A: Balloon lengths of 10 mm, 15 mm, or 20 mm are chosen based on the length and nature of the arterial stenosis. Shorter balloons are ideal for focal lesions, while longer variants are better for addressing extended or multiple contiguous diseased segments.
Q: Where should the catheter be stored before use?
A: The catheter should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain sterility and integrity throughout its three-year shelf life. Proper storage helps prevent contamination and ensures optimal function upon use.
Q: What guidewire is compatible with this catheter model?
A: The Ryujin Plus PTCA Dilatation Catheter is compatible with standard 0.014-inch (0.36 mm) guidewires, which are commonly used in coronary interventions for enhanced maneuverability and control.
Q: How does the semi-compliant balloon material benefit the procedure?
A: Semi-compliant balloon material enables controlled expansion at defined pressures, reducing the risk of vessel injury and facilitating precise dilation of the stenotic area. It strikes a balance between flexibility and stability.
Q: Is the Terumo Ryujin Plus catheter reusable or single-use?
A: This device is intended for single use only. It comes individually packed in sterile packaging to prevent infection and ensure the highest standard of patient safety during each coronary angioplasty procedure.
