This device represents an innovation in the category of guide extension catheters. GuideLiner Catheters are intended to be used in conjunction with guide catheters to access discrete regions of the coronary and/ or peripheral vasculature, to facilitate placement of interventional devices, and to assist in crossing de novo coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO). It is available in 6 F (0.056” inner lumen) and 7 F (0.062” inner lumen). The pushwire also tapers from proximal to distal where it connects with the catheter. Sheaths Guides Support Catheters Wires Crossing Catheters Guide Support Systems Snares. The bevel is long, gradually transitions from the catheter to the pushwire, and has a polymer coating, which reduces potential difficulty with passing and delivering stents. Measuring 40 mm and comprising 3 parts: the portion that connects with the catheter, a polymer semi-circular tube and a beveled end. It has a solid, round pushwire that confers greater force and pushability than other types of pushwires or pushtubes (some are flat others round and hollow), minimizing the risk of kinking. The inner surface of the catheter has a polytetrafluoroethylene coating (PTFE) that reduces friction when devices are passed through it. The distal segment has a 21 cm hydrophilic-coated jacket that helps safely improve navigation and glide inside the coronary artery. The polymer tip measures 2 mm (it has a radiopaque marker) and is produced by extrusion its flexibility allows deflections that adapt appropriately to the tortuosity of the coronary artery, to calcifications, and to lesions encountered in the coronary lumen, without causing dissection. The distal portion is more flexible than the proximal portion. 52, 307, 014, Y21099000524, NEPHROSTOMY CATHETER 16FR. The catheter has a coil-based structure, unlike others which contain mesh. The characteristics of the different parts of the device are as follows: Its advantage over other available extension catheters is that its structure differs to allow a highly safe and effective catheter release in distal portions of the coronary arteries.

A new guide extension catheter named Telescope (Medtronic) has just been released on the market, and we have already tested it.
