WHY IS A MEDTRONIC DIAGNOSTIC CATHETER IMPORTANT FOR YOU?
EVERYONE SAYS TIGER IS THE LEADER, DO I STILL HAVE THE CHANCE? DEFINITELY, YES!
WHY IS DXTERITY POSITIONED FOR SUCCESS?
INTRODUCING DXTERITY FAMILY OVERVIEW
INTRODUCING DXTERITY FAMILY OVERVIEW
PROPRIETARY FULL WALL TECHNOLOGY
Double braid wire applied from hub to
tip forms the backbone of the catheter
shaft
Enhances strength, torque and kink
resistance
An extrusion process over a
removable core creates the innermost
layer of the catheter shaft
Provides structural integrity
PROPRIETARY FULL WALL TECHNOLOGY
Proprietary extrusion process
melts outer shaft material
through and around braid
wire
Forms solid shaft construction
to enhance overall catheter
performance
BEST IN CLASS TORQUABILITY FOR PRECISE MANIPULATION
At least 17% more
torqueable
1Based on bench test data on file at Medtronic. The torque bench test measures torque transmission after 40 degree rotation.
PROPRIETARY FULL WALL TECHNOLOGY – ADVANTACE LUBRICITY
SUPERIOR LUBRICITY WITH ENHANCED DELIVERABILITY
Nearly 3 times more
lubricious
1Based on bench test data on file at Medtronic. Medtronic position paper on DxTerity™ deliverability impact. The lubricity bench
test measures how much force is required to pull the catheter through two silicone pads while submerged in water at body
temperature.
DETAILS MATTER
Soft, atraumatic,
radiopaque tip
Increases visibility
Unique, ergonomic,
winged hub design
For easy manipulation
SOFTER TIP
Atleast 30% softer atraumatic
tip
1Based on bench test data on file at Medtronic generated on brands listed above. Soft tip bench test measures the force required to
compress the catheter tip.
2Exceeded the limit of the force gauge (>300 gf).
CURVES TO KNOW
ADAPTED FOR RADIAL USE
ICs may prefer to use universal curves:
Single catheter shape designed to engage both left and right arteries
The benefits of eliminating catheter exchange include:
●
●
●
●
●
Smaller chance of radial artery spasm
Shorter procedures
Less radiation exposure
Less contrast
Less cost
●
Offered in 100-cm and 110-cm lengths
●
Options with and without sideholes
SKUs offered 5F and 6F
DxTerityTM TRA catheter curves 66 SKUs
Terumo Optitorque™* catheter 16SKUs
