The Smaller 7.5Fr Size Is Ideal For Small Adults, Diabetics And Patient With PVD:

• Reduced catheter cross section area by 38% vs. 9.5Fr.
• Smaller catheter size allows increased distal limb flow
• Minimize the size of arterial puncture

New Premium Durathane Membrane Provides Better Performance

• Abrasion resistance improved by 43%
• Improved fatigue resistance
• Immediate inflation start-up

Potential For Reduced Complications*

• Lower ischemia rates reported for smaller catheters

Faster Inflation Cycle Times

• Faster gas shuttle performance allows better support of rapid heart rates and arrhythmias
• 19% Faster cycle time in 80° bend test method*
