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.
Ultra-Low Crossing Profile for Challenging LesionsThe Ryujin Plus BD 2.50 features an exceptionally low tip entry and crossing profile, making it the ideal choice for navigating tight or complex coronary lesions. Its tapered balloon design and radiopaque markers enhance procedural accuracy, while the hydrophilic coating optimizes trackability during intervention.
Configurable Balloon Lengths for Personalized ProceduresAvailable in balloon lengths of 10 mm, 15 mm, or 20 mm, the Ryujin Plus BD 2.50 allows physicians to customize procedures based on individual patient needs. This adaptability ensures maximum efficacy while minimizing vessel trauma, catering to a wide range of angioplasty scenarios.
Rapid Exchange and High-Pressure PerformanceThe rapid exchange catheter design streamlines device handling and quick guidewire exchanges, supporting efficient workflow. With a rated burst pressure of 12 atm and precise balloon diameter control, Ryujin Plus delivers secure dilation of stenosed arteries with minimal risk of balloon failure.
FAQ's of Terumo Ryujin Plus PTCA Dilatation Catheter (BD 2.50):
Q: How is the Terumo Ryujin Plus PTCA Dilatation Catheter used during coronary angioplasty?
A: The Ryujin Plus BD 2.50 is advanced along a compatible 0.014-inch guidewire to the target stenosis in a coronary artery. Once in position, the balloon is inflated manually to the required pressure under real-time fluoroscopic guidance, dilating the narrowed section and improving blood flow.
Q: What benefits does the hydrophilic coating provide during procedures?
A: The hydrophilic coating on the Ryujin Plus catheter reduces surface friction against vessel walls, enhancing trackability and making it easier to cross tight or tortuous lesions with minimal resistance.
Q: When should the different balloon lengths be selected for a procedure?
A: Balloon lengths of 10 mm, 15 mm, or 20 mm are chosen based on the size and extent of the lesion. Shorter balloons target focal stenoses, while longer balloons are preferred for diffuse or elongated blockages, ensuring precise and effective dilation.
Q: Where should the Ryujin Plus BD 2.50 catheter be stored before use?
A: The catheter should be kept in its original packaging and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, maintaining sterility and integrity until the time of the medical procedure.
Q: What is the recommended process for device sterilization?
A: The Ryujin Plus BD 2.50 catheter is sterilized by ethylene oxide gas at the manufacturing facility, and is supplied as a sterile, single-use device. It is not intended for re-sterilization or reuse.
Q: What are the main advantages of using the Ryujin Plus BD 2.50 catheter for cardiovascular interventions?
A: Key advantages include its ultra-low tip and crossing profile for lesion access, high-pressure capability (up to 12 atm), rapid exchange design for streamlined procedures, and durable, high-precision balloon control, all contributing to safer and more effective coronary dilatation.
