NC Stormer® Noncompliant Over-the-Wire Balloon Dilatation Catheter

Clinical Reasons to Postdilate

Complete apposition is essential in DES applications to facilitate uniform absoprtion of the drug in treated lesions.1,2 NC Stormer catheter technology—delivers the performance that may enhance stent apposition.

  • Controlled compliance for exact sizing within desired location [+]
  • Optimal lengths for poststent dilatation [+]
  • Eight 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 to distal lesions 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* [+]

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 [+]
