Sensation 7Fr. IAB Catheter

The smallest IAB catheter, combined with innovative fiber-optic technology that automatically calibrates in vivo.

Sensation intra-aortic balloon catheter with fiber optic technology and small Fr size for patients in need of hemodyamic support

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.

The 7Fr. catheter

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.
