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 35o to facilitate passage into the left atrium.
Inner Lumen
The NuMED Z-5™ Atrioseptostomy catheter has an inner lumen. The catheter end hole can accommodate a guidewire.
