Intended Use
The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter is intended to assist in the modeling of self-expanding endoprostheses in large diameter vessels.
Device Story
UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter is a percutaneous catheter used by vascular surgeons to assist in modeling self-expanding endoprostheses in large diameter vessels. Device features an expandable Nitinol mesh cage housed in a 14F retractable sheath; design allows mesh expansion without occluding blood flow. Radiopaque markers and Nitinol mesh provide visibility under fluoroscopy for precise positioning. Inner lumen accommodates 0.035 or 0.038 inch guidewires for over-the-wire access. Blue handle controls sheathing/unsheathing; clear handle/luer controls mesh expansion. Device is flushed via side ports. By expanding the mesh against the endoprosthesis, the device ensures proper apposition to the vessel wall, potentially improving clinical outcomes for endovascular procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluation included radial outward force, apposition length, and simulated anatomical use testing to verify the performance of the additional catheter sizes.
Technological Characteristics
Silicone surface-coated percutaneous catheter; expandable Nitinol mesh cage; 14F retractable sheath; radiopaque markers; over-the-wire guidewire compatibility (0.035/0.038 inch). Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (EO) per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135-1:2007. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993 compliant for limited contact (<24 hours) in circulating blood.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by vascular surgeons to assist in the modeling of self-expanding endoprostheses within large diameter vessels.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A percutaneous catheter is a device that is introduced into a vein or artery through the skin using a dilator and a sheath (introducer) or guide wire.

#### Proposed Device Description:
The UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Catheter is a silicone surface coated (medical grade) modeling catheter with an expandable Nitinol mesh in a 14F retractable sheath. The Nitinol mesh design allows for expansion without occluding blood flow. The Nitinol mesh and radiopaque markers are highly visible under fluoroscopy and assist in the positioning of the device. The inner lumen allows for a 0.035 or 0.038 inch guidewire for over-the-wire access. Side ports and clear handle/luer allow the device and guidewire lumen to be flushed. The blue handle allows the device to be sheathed/unsheathed while the clear handle/luer controls the expansion of the Nitinol mesh. This submission modifies the current UnBalloon Non-Occlusive Modeling Catheter by expanding the product family line with additional nitinol mesh cage sizes and catheter lengths.
