Delivery Assist And Selective Catheters
Scepter C and XC Occlusion Balloon Catheter
Indications for Use
It is intended for use in the blood vessels of the peripheral and neurovasculature where temporary occlusion is desired. These catheters offer a vessel selective technique of temporary vascular occlusion which is useful in selectively stopping or controlling blood flow and for balloon assisted embolization of intracranial aneurysms. It is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature for the infusion of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents, such as embolization materials. It is intended for neurovascular use for the infusion of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents, such as embolization materials, that have been approved or cleared for use in the neurovasculature and are compatible with the inner diameter of the Scepter C/XC Balloon Catheter.

Description
The Scepter C and XC Occlusion Balloon Catheter is a dual coaxial lumen catheter with a non-detachable low inflation pressure compliant balloon attached to the distal end of the catheter. The catheter is designed to track over a steerable guidewire. The inner lumen can be used for infusion/delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The outer lumen is used for the inflation and deflation of the balloon independent of guidewire position. Radiopaque marker bands are located at ends of the balloon and distal tip of the catheter to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The outer surface of the catheter is coated with a hydrophilic polymer to increase lubricity. A luer fitting on the microcatheter hub is used for the attachment of accessories. The catheters are packaged sterile for single use only.
