Stent Retrievers
CEREGLIDE™ 42 Intermediate Catheter; CEREGLIDE™ 57 Intermediate Catheter
Indications for Use
The CEREGLIDE 42 Intermediate Catheter and the CEREGLIDE 57 Intermediate Catheter are indicated for use in facilitating the insertion and guidance of appropriately sized interventional devices into a selected blood vessel in the neurovascular system. The CEREGLIDE 57 Intermediate Catheter is also indicated for use as a conduit for retrieval devices.

Description
Both the CEREGLIDE™ 42 Intermediate Catheter and CEREGLIDE™ 57 Intermediate Catheter are variable stiffness, single lumen catheters designed to be introduced over a steerable guide wire or microcatheter into the neuro vasculature. The catheter shaft is composed of a stainless-steel variable pitch braid with a PTFE inner liner to facilitate movement of guide wires and other devices. The exterior of the catheter shaft is covered with polymer materials, which encapsulate the stainless-steel braid construction. The catheter has a stiff proximal shaft which transitions into the flexible distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in the anatomy. The distal end of the catheter has a radiopaque marker band to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization and has a hydrophilic coating to provide lubricity to reduce friction during navigation in the vasculature. The proximal end of the catheter has a luer fitting located on the end of the catheter hub which can be used to attach accessories for flushing. An ID band is placed at the distal end of the hub over a strain relief. The catheter is packaged with a Tuohy Borst Rotating Hemostasis Valve (RHV) with a side port and two slit introducers as accessories. The RHV with side port is used for flushing and insertion of catheters. The slit introducers are designed to introduce the catheter into the base catheter and protect the distal tip of the catheter during insertion into the RHV of the base catheter.
