2-in-1 device — guide extension catheter with trapping capabilities
The TrapLiner Catheter is a rapid exchange guide extension catheter that combines the ability to provide backup support with the ability to trap a 0.014” guidewire. This functionality helps prevent the loss of guidewire position or unintentional guidewire advancement during catheter exchange, and eliminates the need for alternative catheter exchange techniques.
- Coil reinforced guide extension for flexibility and kink resistance
- Hydrophilic coating promotes smooth device delivery
- Hypotube push rod for enhanced pushability
- Half-pipe channel designed to align devices through the collar transition for smooth device entry
Trapping balloon to maintain guidewire position
- TrapLiner Catheter balloon is positioned proximal to the half-pipe channel:
- Inflates to trap a guidewire against the interior wall of the guide catheter
- Features a gold marker to identify the proximal end of the balloon
Guide extension clinical benefits
Provides coaxial alignment and deep-seating for:
- Added backup support
- Distal device delivery
- Selective contrast delivery
