NC Emerge is Boston Scientific's Most Advanced PTCA Catheter


Ultra-low lesion entry point

  • 0.017" lesion entry profile
  • Improves overall flexibility and performance in tortuous anatomy

Over-the-inner tip design

  • Outer tip material rides over the inner shaft
  • Designed to improve overall flexibility and tip performance
  • Short tip designed to lessen tip catch occurance and offer greater control

Reduced shaft profile

  • Designed for exceptional simultaneous use performance
  • Allows for use of two MonorailTM catheters in a 6 F
    guide catheter and two Over-the-Wire catheters in an 8 F guide catheter3

Hydrophilic coating

  • Reduced frictional force on the catheter shaft

Reduced crossing profile4

  • 0.031" (0.787 mm) crossing profile

Bi-Segment™ inner shaft design

  • Designed for maximum deliverability
  • Both stiff and flexible segments to enhance pushability and trackability

Slope ™ outer shaft

  • One piece outer shaft provides a seamless transition
  • Designed to optimize pushability
  • Slope outer shaft on OTW devices
 

Non-compliant balloon material

  • Designed for less balloon growth and increased rated
    burst pressure
  • Unique blend of balloon materials provides excellent
    re-wrap
   

Platinum iridium marker bands

  • Provides optimal radiopacity and excellent visibility

* Based upon RX size availability
1.Growth as measured from compliance charts on directions for use for 3.0mm x 15mm balloon
2.Testing completed by Boston Scientific Corp. N=15 Data on file. Bench test result may not necessarily be indicative of clinical performance.
3.6 F guide catheter with a minimum 0.070" ID, 8 F guide catheter with a minimum 0.088" ID
4.Crossing profile is defined as the maximum diameter found between the proximal end of the balloon and the distal tip of the catheter.  Definition excerpted from FDA Guidance document titeled, Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Certain Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Catheters.
