Balloon Guide Catheters
Modified FlowGate Balloon Guide Catheter
Indications for Use
The Concentric Balloon Guide Catheter is indicated for use in facilitating the insertion and guidance of an intravascular catheter into a selected blood vessel in the peripheral and neuro vascular systems. The balloon provides temporary vascular occlusion during these and other angiographic procedures. The Balloon Guide Catheter is also indicated for use as a conduit for retrieval devices.

Description
The Modified FlowGate Balloon Guide Catheter is a coaxial-lumen, braid-reinforced, variable stiffness catheter designed for use in facilitating the insertion and guidance of an intravascular catheter into a selected blood vessel in the peripheral and neuro vascular systems. A radiopaque marker is included on the distal end for angiographic visualization. A compliant balloon is mounted on the distal end to provide temporary vascular occlusion during angiographic procedures. A bifurcated luer hub on the proximal end allows attachments for flushing, inflation and aspiration. Modified FlowGate Balloon Guide Catheter dimensions and maximum recommended balloon inflation volume are indicated on product label.
