Description
The MIVI Q Distal Access Catheter (Q Catheter) is a single-lumen, variable stiffness catheter with radiopaque markers on the distal and proximal end of the catheter portion for angiographic visualization. The catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during use. The proximal portion of the catheter is a stainless-steel control (push) wire. The Q Catheter may be introduced via an 8F guide catheter/6F guide sheath and over a guidewire/microcatheter into the arterial vasculature until the desired vessel is reached. The Q Docking Station may be used to facilitate insertion and extraction of the Q Catheter through a hemostasis valve attached to the 8F guide catheter/6F guide sheath. The pin vise may be used to advance the catheter.
