Characteristics

​Better handling by design1

Essential improvements in efficiency and control with Rapid Exchange1

  • Enables fast, convenient exchange of devices1

  • Supports the use of short guidewires2

  • Encourages procedural efficiency, reducing potentially fluoroscopy time3 and radiation time2
  • Optimizes control allowing a single operator to perform the procedure2

End-to-end4 performance with less effort4

Better pushability results demonstrated with innovative catheter design4

  • Engineered for maximizing pushability with a well-designed shaft and stiff tapered core wire
  • Effective transition of force from proximal to distal end for efficient lesion crossing
