Description
The Q Distal Access Catheter is a single-lumen, variable stiffness catheter with radiopaque markers on the distal and proximal ends for angiographic visualization. The proximal portion is a stainless-steel control wire, and the distal portion is a coiled/braided catheter shaft with hydrophilic coating along the entire length to reduce friction. It is introduced via an 8F guide catheter/6F guide sheath over a guidewire/microcatheter into the arterial vasculature. A pin vise advances the catheter, and syringe/flush tool components aid in flushing.
