The Encompass’ standards-based DVD-R archiving technology allows years of patient cardiology studies to be stored in a single location. Archived cases can be accessed from any review station on the network in about 30 seconds. Patient data is not locked away in a proprietary format that only one vendor can decode. Physicians are guaranteed access to patient data at all times. The Encompass creates DVDs that can be read from any PC with a DVD reader.

The Avanta Fluid Management Injection System and the Vanguard Dx Angiographic Catheters give clinicians a single, flexible system for virtually all cardiovascular imaging procedures.

The Twin-Pass is a two-lumen catheter designed to be used in percutaneous cardiology and radiology procedures, in conjunction with steerable guide wires, to access discrete regions of the coronary and peripheral arterial vasculature and for use during procedures utilizing two guide wires.

The Philips integrated cath lab is a solution featuring integrated technologies designed to improve productivity and throughput.

The Impervious Extra Long (XL) Femoral Angiography Drape delivers the fluid control required for diagnostic and interventional procedures performed in the cath lab and interventional radiology lab, where fluid management is critical for the protection of both patients and staff.

For wire support and exchange in complex interventions, the Skyway OTW and RX support catheters are intended to be used in conjunction with steerable guide wires in order to access discreet regions of the arterial and coronary vasculature.

OXILAN (Ioxilan Injection) is a contrast media for use in peripheral procedures because of its viscosity. Its reportedly low viscosity allows it to reach distal vessels. It also has the lowest osmolality of all nonionic monomers in the U.S. Together, these properties facilitate ease of injection, help improve patient comfort and provide visualization and image quality. Recent figures indicate that nearly 2.5 million peripheral procedures are performed annually, the company said.

Abbott Vascular has two embolic protection systems: the Emboshield and the RX ACCUNET. A filter-based device, Emboshield was developed to minimize the risk of distal embolization (the release of emboli into the bloodstream), which may lead to ischemia, stroke, heart attack and potential death.

The Proxis Embolic Protection System is the first proximal embolic protection device designed for coronary applications.

The SpideRX Embolic Protection Device features a preloaded nitinol filter with a dual-ended catheter for delivery and recovery. Offering a fully rapid exchange system, the device is easy to use in coronary, carotid and peripheral interventions.
The device enables use of a preferred 0.014 to 0.018-inch guide wire to reach and cross the lesion, and a single dual-ended low-profile catheter — one end for delivery and the opposite end for recovery. The preloaded filter/capture wire is ready to flush and deploy with no stylet or introducer.
