PendraCare out of The Netherlands has launched its line of PRIMUM coronary guiding catheters that feature ComfortCoat hydrophilic coating from DSM.
The ultra slick coating allows for easier navigation of the catheter through challenging vasculature.
Some of the benefits of PRIMUM from PendraCare:
Hydrophilic coating providing new frontiers
- Smooth catheter introduction
- Low friction during advancement in tortuous and calcified anatomy
- Reduced vessel spasm in radial approach resulting in more patient comfort
- Less traumatic to the vessel wall reducing the risk of debris flowing downstream which could lead to TIA’s
Very precise control
- No stick slip effect due to Hydrophilic coating provides more accurate tip positioning in ostial lesions
- No catheter friction provides real 1:1 torque control of the tip
- Encapsulated ultra thin high strength flat wire braiding provides high kink resistance against
torsional and radial compression and excellent pushability characteristicsLargest inner lumen over the whole range
- Good contrast injection also in combination with kissing balloon technique
- Larger lumens offer expanded device compatibility for large profile devices and enables downsizing
Superior back up support
- Excellent shape retention after prolonged procedure time
- Minimal temperature softening of the catheter providing more passive backup support
- Uncoated segment in the tip providing good grip at ostium and support of opposite aorta wall to give additional passive backup support
