China’s Blue Sail Medical Co., Ltd (SHE: 002382) has announced obtaining marketing approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for its Category 3 medical device microcatheter. This internally developed expanding microcatheter is designed to enhance guide wire support and facilitate guide wire exchange in challenging vascular procedures.
Product Features and Applications
The microcatheter, featuring a tapered end of spiral structure and extended hydrophilic coating, is particularly useful in navigating and expanding the twisted micro channels of coronary artery CTO (chronic total occlusion lesions), severe twisted and bifurcation lesions, and severe calcification lesions. Its innovative design allows for quick passage through these complex lesions, providing a strong ability to open CTO lesions and potentially reducing or replacing the need for pre-expansion balloons.-Fineline Info & Tech
