Product Details OptiCross™
Superior Deliverability5
OptiCross™ has better deliverability than Volcano1 & improved image quality2
OptiCross™ Improvements
- 23% shorter tip to transducer length4
- Smallest crossing profile5
- Redesigned Monorail Catheter
Improved Image Quality
| Axial Resolution | |
|---|---|
| Eagle Eye™ Catheter | < 170 micron |
| Revolution™ Catheter | 50 micron |
| Atlantis SR Pro2™Catheter | 43 micron |
| OptiCross™ Catheter | 38 micron |
- Axial resolution is important to clearly see stent struts.
- Better axial resolution
- Darker, more apparent lumen
Improved Ease of Use
OptiCross™ Colored Tip: For enhanced visualization during prep
OptiCross™ 1 cm Telescope Marker: Quickly gauge pullback distance
Telescope Improvements
- Extended proximal shaft covers drive cable to reduce entanglement.
- Stiffer telescope reduces likelihood of kinking during imaging core advancement
- "Click" sound with connection
- Reduced potential for connection error
Necessary Equipment
The following are required for use of the OPTICROSS Intravascular Imaging Catheters:
- POLARIS Multi-Modality Guidance System (Integrated or Mobile)
- MDU5 PLUSTM Motor Drive Unit
- Automatic Pullback Sled (optional)
