Description
The Excelsior XT-27 Microcatheters are sterile, single lumen, 0.027 inch inner diameter microcatheters with one tip marker designed to aid in accessing distal neurovasculature when used with a guide catheter and steerable guidewire. They feature graded shaft stiffness from a highly flexible tip to a semi-rigid proximal section, a luer fitting on the hub, a radiopaque tip marker for fluoroscopic visualization, and Hydrolene hydrophilic coating on the outer surface to reduce friction during vessel manipulation. Available in straight and pre-shaped versions with effective lengths of 135 cm and 150 cm, and distal shaft lengths of 6 cm or 18 cm.
