Heartrail™ II PTCA Guiding Catheter by Terumo – Enhanced Support for Transradial Interventions

Product Details:

• Product Name: Heartrail™ II PTCA Guiding Catheter
• Manufacturer: Terumo Interventional Systems
• Purpose: Designed to enhance back-up support during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures, particularly via transradial interventions (TRI)
• Features:
  • Dedicated Curves for Radial Access:
    • Ikari Curves (Right and Left): Developed to improve back-up force during TRI via the right radial artery
    • Tiger Curves: Designed for universal engagement of both right and left coronary arteries
  • Enhanced Back-Up Support:
    • Utilizing Ikari Left curves provides approximately 2.5 times stronger back-up force compared to traditional Judkins Left curves in TRI
  • Safety-Oriented Design:
    • Soft tip construction to minimize vessel trauma during procedures
  • Universal Shape:
    • The Ikari Left curve allows access to both left and right coronary arteries, potentially reducing the need for catheter exchanges and shortening procedure times
  • Size Options:
    • Available in 5 Fr, 6 Fr, and 7 Fr sizes
    • Usable lengths of 100 cm and 120 cm
• Applications:
  • Facilitates transradial coronary interventions by providing enhanced support and stability
  • Aids in the delivery of interventional devices, including stents and balloons, especially in challenging anatomies
