The Asahi Corsair Microcatheter is intended to provide support to facilitate the placement of Guide wires in the coronary and peripheral vasculatures and can be used to exchange one guide wire for another. The Corsair Microcatheter is also intended to assist in the delivery of contrast media into the coronary, peripheral and abdominal vasculatures.
Device Story
Microcatheter for interventional vascular procedures; used by physicians in clinical settings. Device features tapered distal tip, radiopaque marker coil, and reinforcement wires knitted between layers for control. Outer surface coated with sodium hyaluronate for smooth navigation; inner lumen lined with PTFE for guidewire exchange. Device provides mechanical support for guidewire placement and serves as conduit for contrast media delivery. Physician operates device under fluoroscopic guidance, using radiopaque marker to track tip location. Benefits include enhanced control during navigation through complex vasculature and facilitated access for diagnostic or therapeutic interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Includes biocompatibility testing and mechanical/functional bench testing to verify performance specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Percutaneous catheter; materials include resin, sodium hyaluronate coating, PTFE inner lumen, and metal reinforcement wires. Features radiopaque marker coil. Dimensions equivalent to predicate devices. Sterilization method not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring guide wire placement or exchange in coronary and peripheral vasculatures, and for delivery of contrast media into coronary, peripheral, and abdominal vasculatures.
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.

# DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE SUBJECT TO PREMARKET NOTIFICATION:
The ASAHI Corsair Microcatheter consists of distal tip and a shaft tube that are inserted into a vascular connector for catheter control and infusion of contrast media. The Corsair has a radiopaque marker coil is imbedded into the inner layer of resin to facilitate the tip location during angiographic procedures. In addition, the device is coated with sodium hyaluronate on the outer surface of shaft tube to provide a smooth transition in blood vessel. The Distal tip of the Corsair has a tapered shape and is designed to have increased flexiblility towards distal side. PTFE is applied to the inner lumen of Catheter for the purpose of smooth transition and exchange of guidewire. The Microcatheter also reinforcement wires that are knitted between hypoblast and intercellular layer to reinforce the distal tip and shaft tube to allow the physician greater control of the device during interventional procedures.
