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.

The FilterWire EZ System is a low-profile filter mounted on a guide wire that reduces complications during balloon angioplasty and stenting procedures in SVGs. The filter captures embolic material that becomes dislodged during interventions, which would otherwise travel into the microvasculature where it would pose an increased risk for a heart attack.

The EXCOR TAH-t has received CE approval with the CardioWest TAH-t. The pneumatic drivers provide precisely calibrated air pulses that make the world’s only FDA- and CE-approved TAH-t pump blood much like a human heart.
