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.
Precision and High CrossabilityThe Tazuna RX BD 2.25 catheter combines a tapered hydrophilic soft tip with an ultra-low tip entry profile, optimizing crossability in challenging lesions. Enhanced by dual platinum radiopaque markers, clinicians achieve pinpoint placement and improved visibility throughout angioplasty procedures. The shaft's flexibility and the high pushability design support smooth and precise navigation within the coronary anatomy.
Rapid Exchange Technology for EfficiencyEquipped with the rapid exchange (RX) system, the catheter ensures fast, secure guidewire compatibility and smooth balloon deployment. The manual operation allows real-time adaptability and control during procedures like PCI. Its lightweight, portable construction and transparent/blue shaft facilitate easy handling, supporting seamless integration into interventional cardiology workflow.
Sterile, Reliable, and SafePackaged in a sterile, single-use pouch, the Tazuna PTCA catheter remains protected until ready for use, having undergone ethylene oxide gas sterilization. With a shelf life of three years, the catheter should be stored below 25C in a dry place away from sunlight, ensuring longevity and safety for every angioplasty intervention.
FAQ's of Terumo Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter (RX) (BD 2.25):
Q: How does the Terumo Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter enhance lesion crossing during PTCA procedures?
