NC Stormer® MX®2 Noncompliant Multi-Exchange Balloon Dilatation Catheter

MX2 Technology

Excellent Delivery and Performance

The continuous wire support of OTW plus the speed and easy operation of a short wire system:

  • Small, flexible shaft with enhanced pushability [+]
  • No need for a second operator
  • Optimal catheter support and wire movement
  • Fast, easy wire exchanges
Low-Profile System
  • Optimal visualization and dye flow
  • Low-profile keel glides along shaft
Short-Wire System with Option for Wire Exchanges
  • No need for second operator
  • Wire is enclosed by catheter, providing good catheter support and wire movement
  • Wire exchanges can be performed quickly, while maintaining position and without removing the entire system

Clinical Reasons to Postdilate

Complete apposition is essential in DES applications to facilitate uniform absorption of the drug in treated lesions.1,2 NC Stormer catheter technology—featuring controlled compliance, high pressures and optimal lengths—delivers the performance that may enhance stent apposition.

  • Controlled compliance for exact sizing within desired location [+]
  • Optimal lengths for poststent dilatation [+]
  • Five lengths for your post dilatation needs [+]
  • What you see isn't always what you get [+]

Performance

NC Stormer balloon tackles challenging lesions with confidence:

  • Tracks where other NC balloons won't go*
  • Soft Fulcrum® Plus balloon material yields low crossing profiles and excellent rewrap for treating challenging lesions*
  • Better rewrap and recross than other NC balloons*

Precision

NC Stormer catheter technology allows precise balloon placement and expansion:

  • Minimal longitudinal growth for controlled expansion*

Design

NC Stormer catheter technology is designed to get you where you need to go:

  • Flexible tip material conforms to the wire for crossing lesions and stents*
  • Unique Intelligent Balloon Folding and Selective Dura-Trac Coating aid in reaching and crossing challenging lesions and also in maintaining position retention*
