Crossboss Catheter ( Micro ) Hospital in Thanjavur

CrossBoss Catheter ( micro )

The crossboss catheter is designed in such a way that it will make some of the discrete regions easily accessible. Using this crossboss catheter, coronary chronic total occlusions are completely accessible. It is made of stainless steel braid with a rounded tip and can be rotated in any direction.

The crossboss coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) crossing catheter has demonstrated to have greatly increased the success rate of crossing CTO lesion.

Device Specification

The crossboss catheter aids in the placement and support of guidewire into separate regions of the coronary and peripheral vasculature through its principal guidewire. The crossboss catheter consists of a rounded distal tip that is mounted to a flexible and torquable proximal shaft. The distal end of the catheter is hydrophilic coated. The crossboss catheter is adaptable with 6F guide catheters with a minimum inner diameter of 0.070 in or 1.7 mm and can be used with guidewires ≤0.014 in or 0.36 mm. All the components of the crossboss catheter are provided sterile and non-pyrogenic.

The crossboss catheter is designed for use with a guidewire to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral vasculature.

When used as a part of the system containing the crossboss catheter, stingray catheter, and stingray guidewire, the crossboss catheter is indicated for aid to facilitate the intraluminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond stenotic coronary lesions prior to PTCA or stent intervention.
