Tazuna rapid exchange PTCA balloon catheter is intended for use during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for the purpose of improving myocardial blood flow in a localized stenotic lesion of the coronary arteries. Tazuna is a high performance balloon utilizing a combination of Terumos technologies to improve crossability and pushability to treat the most complex lesions.
Exceptional Navigability and ControlThe Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter leverages rapid exchange (RX) technology paired with a flexible, low-profile tapered tip for effortless lesion entry and crossability. The hydrophilic outer layer further enhances trackability, allowing for smoother movement through complex coronary anatomy.
Precision and Safety Built InDesigned with two radiopaque markers, clinicians can position the balloon accurately within the vessel. The balloons rated burst pressure of 14 atm and nominal pressure of 8 atm ensures dependable dilation, while the high-precision sizing allows targeted treatment with reduced risk of complications.
Sterile, Reliable, and Ready to UseManufactured from medical-grade polymer, the Terumo Tazuna Catheter is EO-sterilized and packaged individually for single-use, ensuring optimal sterility and patient safety. Its latex-free construction minimizes allergy risks, and its long shelf life enables convenient storage and inventory management.
FAQs of Terumo Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter (RX) (BD 2.00):
Q: How is the Terumo Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter used in coronary angioplasty procedures?
A: This catheter is used to dilate stenosed (blocked) coronary arteries. During angioplasty, it is advanced over a 0.014" guidewire to the site of the blockage, where its semi-compliant balloon inflates to widen the narrowed vessel, restoring blood flow.
Q: What are the benefits of the hydrophilic coating and low tip entry profile?
A: The hydrophilic coating and low tip profile significantly enhance smooth passage through tortuous vasculature, resulting in easier lesion crossing, minimized vessel trauma, and reduced procedure times.
Q: When is this catheter typically deployed during a procedure?
A: The Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter is deployed after the guidewire has crossed the lesion. It is then positioned at the target site using radiopaque markers for accuracy prior to balloon inflation.
Q: Where can the Terumo Tazuna PTCA Catheter be used?
A: This catheter is intended for use in hospital settings, particularly cardiac catheterization laboratories that perform coronary angioplasty procedures across India and globally.
Q: What process ensures the sterility and safety of this catheter?
A: Each catheter is sterilized using ethylene oxide (EO) gas and then individually packaged in a peel-pouch, maintaining sterility and minimizing infection risk until the time of use.
Q: How should I store the Terumo Tazuna PTCA Catheter before use?
A: Store the catheter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its integrity and maintain sterility throughout its shelf life, which is up to 3 years.
