Sapphire NC24

Coronary Dilatation Catheter

Optimal combination of robustness,
controlled compliance,
and re-crossability

True Controlled Balloon Compliance

Lowest % Circumferential Growth*
(Nom to RBP)

*Data on in-house bench test data on Ø 3.0 mm balloons

Lowest % Longitudinal Growth*
(Nom to RBP)

Minimal circumferential and longitudinal growth (Nom to RBP) for maximum accuracy and safety during lesion preparation and stent optimization.

High Pressure Tolerance

High pressure tolerance of 24 atm RBP up to 3.5 mm diameter without compromising crossability

Broad range in Balloon Sizes and Lengths

Diameter range from 1.5 to 5.0 mm with lengths up to 26 mm for broadened range of treatment
