The Ventrax™ Delivery System is intended to provide a pathway through which devices are introduced within the chambers and coronary vasculature of the heart.

The Ventrax™ Delivery System is designed to provide a conduit to deliver diagnostic and therapeutic catheters to specific heart chambers and locations. It provides support for positioning and maintaining the position of catheters at specific locations in the heart. The sheath may be used for percutaneous entry. The system consists of four components: a sheath, a pigtail dilator, a straight dilator and a J-tipped Amplatz guidewire. VENTRAX™ DELIVERY SYSTEM COMPONENTS A. 8.5F Guiding Sheath Introducer: provides a conduit to deliver diagnostic and therapeutic catheters to specific heart chambers and locations. The sheath has an integrated valve to restrict blood loss, and a sideport for flushing and withdrawing blood. B. Mating Pigtail Dilator: designed to conform to the sheath introducer inner diameter, has a tapered tip, has a pigtail at the distal end to assist aortic valve crossing, has an integrated valve to restrict blood loss, and has a sideport for flushing. C. Mating Straight Dilator: designed to conform to the sheath introducer inner diameter and has a tapered tip. Usage of this straight dilator is optional. This straight dilator is intended to be used only when access is unsuccessful after using the mating pigtail dilator. D. 0.035" X 220cm J-tipped Amplatz guidewire: provide path for sheath and dilator advancement.

The Prelude Small O.D. Introducer Guide Wire is intended to facilitate the placement of introducer sheaths during diagnostic and interventional procedures. The Prelude Small O.D. Introducer Guide Wire is indicated for use in the peripheral vasculature only.

The Prelude® Small O.D. Introducer Guide Wire is composed of a stainless-steel core wire inside a stainless-steel coil. The guide wire is welded at the distal and proximal tips and has a polished weld finish. The stainless-steel construction provides radiopacity and visibility to the user under X-ray. The wires are available in outer diameters 0.018", 0.021" and 0.025", lengths from 45 cm to 80 cm, straight and double-ended J 3mm / straight tip shapes, Standard and Firm body wire stiffness profiles, with a flexible atraumatic tip.

The Impress Angiographic Catheter is designed to be used for delivering radiopaque media to selected sites in the vascular system in conjunction with routine diagnostic procedures. Angiographic catheters with marker bands may also be used for anatomical measurements.

The Merit Impress Angiographic Catheters with/without hydrophilic coating are intravascular diagnostic catheters that are intended for the administration of contrast for conducting fluoroscopic studies. The catheters are available in a variety of 4F and 5F wire-braided and non-braided configurations ranging in length from 40cm to 125cm. The device may include a marker band to assist anatomical measurements. The devices are available in a variety of tip shapes to cater to variations in physician preference and patient anatomy. The catheters consist of a shaft with a molded hub assembly. It is the shaft that may be offered with or without a wire-braided reinforcement. The distal tip of the device is tapered for efficient volume flow and dispersion of the contrast media. The distal tip is flexible so as to minimize the potential for vessel trauma.

The Siege Vascular Plug is indicated for arterial embolization in the peripheral vasculature. The Siege Vascular Plug is intended for therapeutic embolization to reduce or obstruct blood flow.

The subject Siege Vascular Plug ("Device") is a self-expanding braided Nitinol vascular embolization implant that is supplied with components used for implantation. The Device has radiopaque marker bands attached to each end and a screw attachment for connection to the Delivery Wire. The Device is packaged collapsed within a Loader and attached to a 225 cm Delivery Wire that is provided within a hoop dispenser. The Delivery Wire has a lubricious, hydrophilic coating at its distal end (approximately 26.5cm long). A Tuohy Borst Valve is provided for flushing and maintaining hemostasis: a Torque Device is provided for releasing the Device; a Non-Vented Luer Cap is provided for device preparation. The subject Siege Vascular Plug has been designed with a material, size, configuration, and shape that allows introduction through recommended 0.021" or 0.027" inner diameter commercial microcatheters for the embolization of arterial blood vessels in the peripheral vasculature. The Siege Vascular Plug Devices are provided in three different outer diameters (4.5 mm, 6.5 mm, 8.5 mm) to treat different artery diameter ranges (1.5 - 2.5 mm, 2.5 - 4 mm, 4 - 6 mm) in the peripheral vasculature.

Bearing nsPVA Particles are used for the embolization of peripheral hypervascularized tumors, including leiomyoma uteri and peripheral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Do not use particles smaller than 355 microns for the treatment of leiomyoma uteri.

Bearing nsPVA particles are irregularly-shaped, hydrophilic, non-resorbable particles made of 100% crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol).
