Sensation 7Fr. IAB Catheter
Smaller is better for patient and clinician
Sensation 7Fr. is the smallest IAB catheter available today, combined with innovative fiber-optic technology that automatically calibrates in vivo. Smaller is better for the patient, potentially reducing vascular complications.
7Fr. size without sacrificing performance
- The 7Fr. catheter is made possible by fiber-optic technology, allowing more patients with smaller, compromised vessels to benefit from IABP therapy
- Potential for smaller arteriotomy
- Potential for reduced limb ischemia
New IAB tray and insertion kit packaging: Innovative tray design for faster, easier setup and improved membrane protection.
The Sensation 7Fr. Catheter. Smaller is Better
- Potential for smaller arteriotomy
- Potential for reduced limb ischemia
- 15% increase in the amount of distal flow vs. 8Fr.*
- 23% reduction on the cross-sectional area
Bringing clarity to mechanical circulatory support
Recent debate regarding the IABP has centered on the discrepant results obtained from randomized, controlled trials (RCTs), versus the benefits observed by clinicians in decades of clinical practice.
This series of educational programs reviews the physiological principles behind current circulatory support therapies.
