Intended Use
The Prowler Plus Infusion Catheters are intended to be used as a mechanism for the infusion of various diagnostic, embolic, and therapeutic agents into the vascular systems (Neuro, Peripheral, Coronary), for Guidewire Exchange/Support, and for superselective angiography of the peripheral and coronary vasculatures.
Device Story
Prowler Plus Infusion Catheter is a single-lumen catheter designed for vascular access. Device features stiff proximal shaft and flexible distal section; radiopaque marker at distal tip for visualization. Outer shaft includes hydrophilic coating; inner lumen features PTFE liner. Catheter accommodates guidewires up to .018". Used by clinicians in neuro, peripheral, and coronary vascular procedures to deliver diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic agents, provide guidewire support, or perform superselective angiography. Device facilitates targeted delivery of agents to specific vascular sites, potentially improving procedural outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Design verification testing included pull strength, trackability, dimensional testing, static burst pressure, flow rate calculation, air aspiration, linear stiffness (boink), and shapeability tests. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Single-lumen catheter; stiff proximal shaft, flexible distal section. Materials include radiopaque marker at distal tip, hydrophilic coating on outer shaft, and PTFE liner on inner lumen. Accommodates guidewires up to .018".
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring infusion of diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic agents into neuro, peripheral, or coronary vascular systems, guidewire exchange/support, or superselective angiography of peripheral and coronary vasculatures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A continuous flush catheter is an attachment to a catheter-transducer system that permits continuous intravascular flushing at a slow infusion rate for the purpose of eliminating clotting, back-leakage, and waveform damping.
