Introduction to Microcatheters
With the continuous development of coronary, neuro, and peripheral interventional techniques, microcatheters are playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of complex lesions. They are not only used to support guidewire passage and stabilize the operative path, but also to deliver drugs and other interventional or implantable devices, making them an important auxiliary tool for precision interventional therapy.
Clinical Applications of Microcatheters:
··Aid in perforation of chronic coronary occlusion (CTO)
··Emboembolization of neurological aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
··Access establishment for peripheral vascular stenosis
··Guidewire advancement, contrast agent injection, and drug delivery in complex vascular lesions
To adapt to different vascular environments and operational needs, microcatheters must possess the following properties:
··High flexibility and excellent distal permeability
··Good guidewire support
• High lubricity and strong compatibility • Multi-segment design ensures smooth passage through tortuous blood vessels Microcatheter Manufacturing Process Microcatheters are typically composed of multiple segments of materials and functional structures:
