Intended Use

The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter is intended to assist in the modeling of self-expanding endoprostheses in large diameter vessels.

Device Description

The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Catheter is a silicone surface coated (medical grade) modeling catheter with an expandable Nitinol mesh in a 14F retractable sheath. The Nitinol mesh design allows for expansion without occluding blood flow. The Nitinol mesh and radiopaque markers are highly visible under fluoroscopy and assist in the positioning of the device. The inner lumen allows for a 0.035 or 0.038 inch guidewire for over-the-wire access. Side ports and clear handle/luer allow the device and guidewire lumen to be flushed. The blue handle allows the device to be sheathed/unsheathed while the clear handle/luer controls the expansion of the Nitinol mesh. This submission modifies the current UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter by expanding the product family line with additional nitinol mesh cage sizes and catheter lengths.
