Description
The Plato MICROCATH® 27 Microcatheters are single lumen catheters designed to be used with a guiding catheter and a steerable guidewire for accessing the vasculature. The microcatheter contains a metal hypotube reinforced shaft with a maximum diameter of 3.7F, tapering to a distal end of 3.3F, which can be inserted into a 6F guide catheter. The inner diameter is constant throughout the shaft length and accommodates up to a 0.025" guidewire. The catheter is 150 cm in length with two tip configurations: straight and 45°. All have steam shapeable tips, hydrophilic coating, and a radiopaque marker at the distal tip. The devices are marketed with an accessory mandrel which allows the catheter tips to be steam-shaped to the doctor's preferred shape when desired.
