Sensation® 7Fr. IAB Catheter
Sensation® 7Fr. IAB Catheter
The smallest IAB catheter, combined with innovative fiber-optic technology that automatically calibrates in vivo.
Overview
Sensation 7Fr. is the smallest IAB catheter available today, with an
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
Proprietary IAB Membrane
A patented, blow-molded polyurethane IAB material developed to withstand the constant abrasion of even the most calcified aortas*:
- 43% more abrasion resistance
- Reduced insertion force
- Immediate inflation at start-up
- Improved fatigue resistance
Unique T-handle Balloon Retainer
- Ensures smallest balloon membrane profile
- Protects balloon membrane during set-up
