Sprinter OTW

Semicompliant Over-the-Wire Balloon Dilatation Catheter

Sprinter OTW Semicompliant Over-the-Wire Balloon Dilatation Catheter

The Sprinter® Over-the-Wire Semicompliant Balloon Dilatation Catheter is designed with enhanced push and flexibility for easier lesion access, low tip and crossing profiles, excellent rewrap for smooth recross and a comprehensive size matrix for precise sizing.

How the Sprinter OTW Catheter Works

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), also known as coronary angioplasty, is a therapeutic procedure to treat the narrowed or stenotic section of the coronary artery of the heart due to coronary atherosclerosis. In balloon catheter angioplasty, tightly folded and narrow balloons are passed into the narrowed artery and inflated to a fixed size using liquid. This procedure reduces the narrowing of the artery by pushing the plaque (or blockage) to the sides of the artery.1

Sprinter OTW Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)

Stent implantation often follows balloon angioplasty. Once the stent is implanted, post stent deployment as assessed by IVUS or fluoroscopy may be completed to ensure adequate stent expansion and apposition against the arterial wall.

Features

Each case brings its own challenges: treating an ultratight lesion, the need to navigate through a tortuous anatomy or the need to have a specific size balloon for greater precision.

The Sprinter OTW catheter is designed to address these challenges. It is designed with enhanced push and flexibility for easier lesion access, low tip and crossing profiles, excellent rewrap for smooth recross and a comprehensive size matrix for precise sizing.

Nominal pressure
Rated burst pressure*

Test data on file at Medtronic, Inc.
* Rated burst pressure: the maximum pressure to which a balloon is designed to be inflated (95% confidence that 99.9% will not fall below rated burst pressure). DO NOT EXCEED.
Nominal Pressure: the pressure at which the balloon reaches its labeled diameter.
