The SwiftNINJA Steerable Microcatheter is a straight-tip cathter that articulates up to 180 degrees in opposing directions to rapidly select the most challenging vascular ostium. It offers 3-D steering with one-handed operation and is designed to reach otherwise inaccessible areas.
The device is scheduled to be launched simultaneously with the Corvocet Biopsy System, which also received 510(k) clearance recently.
