A state of the art guiding catheter, with superior characteristics. The catheter is best in class and provides precise delivery in the target vessel.

    Key performance characteristics of the Primum are:

    low resistance due to unique hydrophilic coating

    Smooth catheter introduction

    Low friction during advancement in tortuous and calcified anatomy

    Reduced vessel spasm in radial approach resulting in more patient comfort

    Less traumatic to the vessel wall reducing the risk of debris flowing downstream which could lead to TIA’s

    high torque control

    Encapsulated ultra thin high strength flat wire braiding provides high kink resistance against torsional and radial compression and excellent pushability characteristics

    No catheter friction provides real 1:1 torque control of the tip

    excellent back-up support

    Excellent shape retention after prolonged procedure time

    Minimal temperature softening of the catheter providing more passive backup support

    Uncoated segment in the tip providing good grip at ostium and support of opposite aorta wall to give additional passive backup support

    large inner lumen and small outer diameter

    Inner and outer diameter dimensions that are superior to competitors
