Description
Stryker Neurovascular Excelsior® XT-17™ Microcatheters are single lumen devices designed to aid the physician in accessing distal vasculature when used with a guide catheter and steerable guidewire. Graded shaft stiffness ranging from a highly flexible tip to a semi-rigid proximal section aids the physician in tracking over selectively placed guidewires. A luer fitting located on the microcatheter hub is used for the attachment of accessories. A radiopaque tip facilitates fluoroscopic visualization. Stryker Neurovascular hydrophilically coated Excelsior XT-17 Microcatheters are coated on the outer surface with Hydrolene® Coating that reduces friction during manipulation in the vessel. The Excelsior XT-17 Microcatheter is a single use device made of polymers, stainless steel, and Hydrolene® Coating, sterilized with Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas.
