The catheter can be coaxially tracked over a steerable guidewire in order to access distal, tortuous vasculature. Once the subselective region has been accessed, the catheter can be used for controlled and selective infusion of diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic materials into vessels. The Renegade™ STC-18 Microcatheter is a sterile, single-use catheter and is available in lengths of 105 cm, 130 cm, and 150cm. ## Device Story Renegade STC-18 is a sterile, single-use microcatheter; used in neuro, peripheral, and coronary vasculature. Device tracks coaxially over steerable guidewires to reach distal, tortuous vessels. Once positioned, enables controlled, selective infusion of diagnostic, embolic, or therapeutic agents. Operated by physicians in clinical settings. Benefits include improved access to difficult-to-reach vascular regions for targeted therapy or diagnostics. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only; biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993. ## Technological Characteristics Sterile, single-use microcatheter; available in 105 cm, 130 cm, and 150 cm lengths. Biocompatibility verified per ISO 10993. ## Regulatory Identification An intravascular diagnostic catheter is a device used to record intracardiac pressures, to sample blood, and to introduce substances into the heart and vessels. Included in this generic device are right-heart catheters, left-heart catheters, and angiographic catheters, among others. ## Predicate Devices - Renegade™ Hi-Flo Microcatheter - Renegade™ Fiber Braided Microcatheter - Excelsior™ 1018 Microcatheter - Tracker® Excel™ 14 ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
