Microcatheters
ASAHI Tellus
Indications for Use
This microcatheter is a medical device intended for angiography and/or infusion of various substances including diagnosis, embolization and treatment in the peripheral vasculature using an appropriate guide catheter and guide wire. The microcatheter is not intended for use in neurovasculature, coronary arteries and carotid arteries.

Description
The ASAHI Tellus Microcatheter is a sterile single-use device designed for use in the peripheral vasculature. It consists of a catheter shaft reinforced with braid wires to enhance pushability and maintain patency of the inner lumen. A radiopaque marker is fixed on the distal end to facilitate location during angiography. The distal portion is flexible and available in straight and angled shapes for improved trackability in tortuous vessels. A hydrophilic coating is applied on the outer surface for a smooth transition.
