The HI-TORQUE MIDDLE SUPPORT™ .012" Guide Wire with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating is a guide wire with a nominal diameter of 0.012". Like the ACS HI-TORQUE TRA VERSE® Guide Wire, the HI-TORQUE MIDDLE SUPPORT™ .012" Guide Wire is constructed from a stainless steel core. The distal segment of the guide wire includes a series of tapers and a flat, which reduce the diameter and stiffness of the distal core, thus yielding the desired flexibility and performance. The distal tip coil has a radiopaque length of 3 cm. The distal end of the guide wire is available either as a straight tip that is shapeable, or as a pre-shaped "J". The HI-TORQUE MIDDLE SUPPORT™ .012" Guide Wire with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating is available in lengths of 190 cm and 300 cm exchange length. The 300 cm exchange length enables the physician ample working length of the guide wire to facilitate catheter exchanges. The proximal section of the wire is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The distal, coiled segment of the wire is coated with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating.

The peripheral guiding catheter is intended to provide a pathway through which therapeutic and diagnostic devices are introduced into the peripheral vasculature. The inner catheter is intended to provide support during the introduction and withdrawal of a guiding catheter.

The VERIPATH™ Peripheral Guiding Catheter is recommended for use during vascular procedures in conjunction with interventional and/or diagnostic devices such as balloon dilatation catheters, atherectomy devices, stent delivery systems, intravascular ultrasound devices, etc. The guiding catheter is a single lumen catheter that allows contrast medium iniections and facilitates the intravascular passage of diagnostic and therapeutic devices into the vascular system. The guiding catheter has a standard working length of 50 cm and a standard overall length of 56 cm, but can be produced in overall lengths from 40 to 80 cm, depending upon physician preference and patient size. The guiding catheter is available in three diameters/French sizes (F), as follows: 6F (0.068" ID, 0.82" OD), 7F (0.078" ID, 0.93" OD), 8F (0.088" ID, 0.105" OD). The guiding catheter is available in varying tip shapes designed for peripheral use. Each shape is specific for patient anatomy and physician preference, and therefore a wide range of shapes is available. Also included in the VERIPATH™ device package is an inner catheter. The inner catheter is a single lumen catheter with a luer at the proximal end and is recommended for use with the guiding catheter to aid in the introduction and withdrawal of the guiding catheter. The inner catheter has a standard working length of 65 cm and a standard overall length of 67 cm, but can be produced in lengths from 55 to 95 cm depending upon physician preference and patient size. The inner catheter is straight and available in three diameters/French sizes (F), as follows: 6F (0.062" OD), 7F (0.072" OD), and 8F (0.082" OD) and may be sold either with or without a taper at the tip.

The ACS HI-TORQUE CROSS-IT™ 400XT Guide Wire with HYDROCOAT™ Hydrophilic Coating is a steerable guide wires with a nominal diameter of 014" and available in: 175 cm and 190 cm extendable lengths and a 300 cm exchange length. The proximal end of the 190 cm models are tapcred to fit into the hypotube portion of the ACS DOC® Guide Wire Extension. The wire is constructed from a stainless steel core wire. The distal end of the guide wire has a radiopaque tip that are available either as a straight or as a preshaped J. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal portion of the guide wire and the proximal section is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene.

The RX HERCULINK™ 14 Biliary Stent System is indicated for palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree.

RX HERCULINK™ 14 Biliary Stent System is a balloon-expandable stent pre-mounted onto a rapid exchange (RX) delivery catheter designed to be placed perculaneously into the common bile duct and intended to treat malignant strictures in the biliary tree. The stent is fabricated from a single piece of 316L medical grade stainless steel tubing. The Stent is pre-mounted onto an RX delivery catheter with an integrated shaft system and an of a single have a look balloon bonded at the distal end. The shaft has a combination of a single lumen design at the proximal end and a coaxial lumen at the distal end. The proximal lumen provides for inflation of the balloon with contrast medium. The distal lumen permits use of a guide wire to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. The balloon, which has 2 radiopaque markers to aid in positioning the balloon in the stenosis, is designed to provide an expandable segment of known diameter and length at specific pressures. The proximal end of the catheter has a single arm adapter that provides access to the The proximal end of the catherer has a ongro annelly for connection with an inflation device. The RX HERCULINK™ Biliary Stent System consists of an 18 mm length stent pre-The KA TILICOEINN - Dinary Catheter with balloon diameters of 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, mounted only a 75 cm length don'tory actively Stent System is intended to be delivered and deployed in the biliary tree.

The HI-TORQUE IRON MAN™ Guide Wire is a steerable guide wire intended to facilitate placement of balloon dilatation catheters during Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) and Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA). The wire is also intended to facilitate the placement of equipment, such as atherectomy and compatible stent devices, during other diagnostic and therapeutic intravascular procedures. It is not intended for use in the cerebral vasculature.

The proximal and distal portions of the guide wire are constructed from a core assembly. A series of tapers and flats, which reduce the diameter of the core wire distally, vields the desired tip flexibility. The distal 12 to 15 centimeters proximal to the tip of the ACS HI-TOROUE IRON MAN™ Guide Wire are coated with Microglide® while the remaining portion is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Both coatings are intended to reduce friction for improved movement of the wire within the catheter. The platinum alloy coils provide the physicians with a radiopaque tip.

The ACS ANCHORTM Exchange Device is used within a guiding catheter to facilitate the exchange of an interventional device while maintaining the position of a guide wire within the vasculature.

The ACS ANCHORTM Exchange Device consists of a proximal control handle and a superelastic core wire within a single lumen hypotube approximately 96 cm. long. The control handle provides the userinterface to control the movement of the hypotube and the core wire. During an exchange procedure, the distal end of the core wire is wrapped around the guide wire to lock its position in the vasculature. The ACS ANCHOR™ Exchange Device is compatible with 0.010" through 0.018" diameter non-hydrophilic-coated guide wires and associated interventional devices (except the ROTOBLATOR® Rotational Angioplasty System) when at least 0.015" free space is available within the guiding catheter.
