The atrioseptostomy catheter is suitable for patients with a small left atrium as well as for newborn babies requiring an atrioseptostomy due to a congenital heart disorder.
Benefits
Radiopaque Catheter Body & Balloon Image Marker The NuMED Z-5™ Atrioseptostomy catheter body is Radiopaque to facilitate reliable positioning of the catheter. A Platinum image marker band is placed under the balloon for clear identification under fluoroscopy.
Micro-Thin Non-Compliant Balloon The NuMED Z-5™ Atrioseptostomy balloon is micro-thin for low deflated profile that maintains tip flexibility. The Inflation of the balloon is controlled by volume. (see volumetric chart-Instructions for Use)
Reduced Balloon Size The reduced inflated balloon size should make Atrioseptostomy easier to perform on neonates with a small left atrium.
Tip Angulation The tip of the catheter is angled at 35° to facilitate passage into the left atrium.
