Before I came along, balloon-based variable stiffness catheters weren’t used all that often, because all manner of technological constraints stood in the way. I’m here to change that.

My particular specifications are unique in this space—which means I’m ideally positioned to serve stroke patients and the caregivers who treat them worldwide. Yes, similar balloon guide catheters have promised superior functionality. But I was specifically and intentionally designed to banish those shortcomings once and for all.
So how do I deliver? My revolutionary 0.087-inch ID and 8F+ (OD) mean I’m just as suited to facilitate the insertion and guidance of an intravascular catheter as I am in my role as a conduit for clot retrieval devices. And my distinct construction means I deliver proximal support while maintaining distal flexibility. In short, I combine flow control, trackability, support, and access into one revolutionary solution.
