The Indigo range of catheters have been designed as
single use balloon dilation catheters and are intended
for use in angioplasty procedures in the treatment of
peripheral vessel disease. The Indigo Rx PTA Balloon Catheter has a single lumen
at the proximal end (D) that is attached to the hub (F),
this act as the fluid pathway. The catheter changes to a
double lumen 25 cm from the distal end. The outer lumen
(B) continues the fluid path and allows for inflation/
deflation of the balloon. The inner lumen (C) exist
through the outer lumen to the distal end of the balloon
(A) and is attached at that point, a radiopaque marker is
attached to the inner lumen and is positioned central to
the balloon, the proximal end of the lumen exits through
the stainless steel single lumen section at the proximal
end and is attached there. The RX inner lumen (c) permits up to a 0.018” diameter
guide wire to pass through the centre The inner lumen
material is made from a tri-layer material with a PEBAX
outer skin and an HDPE inner wall with a bonding agent
in the middle. The single lumen section of the catheter is a plastic
coated, stainless steel tube that is attached to the hub
and allows fluid to pass through the centre. The tube
has a 0.432 mm (0.016” ) inside diameter and a 0.584
mm (0.023”) outside diameter The outer lumen(B) is made from PEBAX. This material
offers good bonding qualities as well as adding the
required stiffness to the distal end of the catheter. Clearance
between the inner and outer lumen provides a fluid path
that permits the inflation/deflation of the balloon in less
than 20 seconds when using a 50/50 mix of contrast fluid
and 0.09% saline.
Indigo
OTW PTA Balloon Catheter
Over the Wire PTA Balloon Catheter
Indigo OTW PTA catheter has double lumen running
from the proximal end. The inner lumen (F) is used as
the guide wire path while the outer lumen (F) continues
the fluid path from the hub to the balloon and allows
for inflation/deflation of the balloon (E)
The OTW inner lumen permits up to a 0.035” diameter
guide wire to pass through the centre. The length of the
guide wire used is longer than the length of the catheter
so that the wire exits from the hub. If the catheter needs to
be replaced then an extension wire is used.
The inner lumen material is made from a tri-layer material
with a PEBAX outer skin and an HDPE inner wall with a
bonding agent in the middle.
The outer lumen is made from PEBAX. The material offers
good bonding qualities as well as adding the required
stiffness to the distal end of the catheter. Clearance between
the inner and outer lumen provides a fluid path that permits
the inflation /deflation of the balloon in less than 20
seconds when using a 50/50 mix of contrast fluid and
0.09% saline.
PTA Catheter hubs Are injection moulded parts that are
produced from a radiation medical grade poly carbonate.
The 6 % female luer tapered fittings are designed to meet
ISO 594. The hub has a printed identification on it
indicating the balloon size.
Balloons are manufactured from PEBAX tubing. Further
balloon expansion from the nominal inflation pressure is
minimal giving a predictable diameter. The balloon is
manufactured in such a way that on bursting, the material
splits along the longitudinal axis, thus preventing the
material from hanging up (as in an umbrella fashion)
when withdrawn from the vessel in the event that the balloon
should burst.
