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.
Advanced Balloon Design for Reliable AngioplastyFeaturing a CrossEase balloon and flexible tip, the Terumo Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter enhances procedural success even in complex lesions. Its semi-compliant balloon allows consistent, controlled expansion and facilitates optimal treatment outcomes during cardiovascular interventions.
Effortless Handling with Rapid Exchange TechnologyThe rapid exchange (RX) system streamlines catheter manipulation and exchange, allowing clinicians to save time and maintain precision during procedures. Along with a hydrophilic coating and low tip entry profile, this catheter moves smoothly through challenging vascular anatomies.
Standardized Sterility and Convenient PackagingEach catheter is EO gas sterilized, single-use, and individually packed in a peel-open pouch. This ensures maximum sterility, minimizes infection risk, and makes the device easy to deploy in a sterile clinical environment.
FAQ's of Terumo Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter (RX) (BD 2.50):
Q: How is the Terumo Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter used in cardiovascular procedures?
A: This catheter is utilized in balloon angioplasty for dilating narrowed or obstructed coronary arteries. It is manually operated, compatible with a 0.014 inch guidewire, and designed to precisely expand at set pressures.
Q: What are the benefits of the CrossEase balloon design and hydrophilic coating?
A: The CrossEase balloon allows optimal deliverability and consistent expansion, while the hydrophilic coating reduces friction for smoother navigation and crossing of lesions, enhancing procedure efficiency and safety.
Q: When should the Terumo Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter be used?
A: It is used during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures, typically when a patient requires dilation of coronary artery lesions to restore blood flow.
Q: Where is the catheter best stored before use?
A: The device should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps maintain sterility and extends shelf life for up to three years if unopened.
Q: What is the process of deploying the catheter during angioplasty?
A: The catheter is advanced over a 0.014 inch guidewire to the target lesion, then inflated at nominal or burst pressures to dilate the vessel. The rapid exchange system supports quick device exchanges throughout the procedure.
Q: Is the Terumo Tazuna PTCA Dilatation Catheter suitable for reuse?
A: No, the catheter is a single-use, disposable device. Reusing it is not recommended to prevent infection and maintain device integrity.
Q: What makes this catheter portable and easy to manage during procedures?
A: Its lightweight design, flexible tip, and rapid exchange mechanism make handling straightforward, supporting real-time operation and precise positioning during angioplasty.
