>> Medical Professionals >> Devices >> Embolectomy Catheters LeMaitre® Embolectomy Catheters Single Lumen or Dual Lumen, Over-the-Wire, and Latex–Free Models & Specs   Two types of embolectomy catheters are available: LeMaitre natural latex balloon catheters and NovaSil® latex-free balloon catheters. Single lumen catheters use hand-tied balloons that are glued in three areas and pre-stretched for flexibility. These catheters are strong and able to withstand a substantial force before the balloon disengages from the catheter. Balloons are well-centered and resistant to rupture. Over-the-Wire embolectomy catheters are also available. These allow for the addition of contrast media to facilitate imaging during fluoroscopy. Radiopaque for visibility under fluoroscopy Constructed of pliable material for introduction and passage through vessels that may be difficult to navigate Color-coding for catheter size identification Long shelf life for sterility Single Lumen Embolectomy Catheters Strength: catheter material is strong, allowing the catheters to withstand a substantial force before the balloon disengages. Resistant to rupture: balloons are manufactured to high specifications so that they are resistant to rupture during contact or trauma. Predictable inflation: the balloons inflate at a consistent rate as the volume of the balloon increases. Centered balloons: each balloon is centered on the catheter shaft for concentric inflation and deflation. Over-the-Wire Embolectomy Catheters Dye contrast: contrast media can be added to better visualize the catheter under fluoroscopy. Positioning: standard guidewire capability of the over-the-wire catheter allows for proper positioning of the catheter in the vessel. Irrigation: lubricate with fewer passes and less intimal trauma during catheter withdrawal. Novasil Latex-Free Catheters Silicone balloons: balloons can be used in patients with latex allergies because they do not contain latex. Concentricity: like the latex catheters, the balloons are centered on the catheter to reduce potential damage to the vessel intima.
