FOXTROT™ NC PTCA Balloon Catheter is a rapid exchange percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty catheter. It is indicated for balloon angioplasty or assisting with balloon expandable stents implantation in pre-dilation as well as post-dilation. The design is an integrated shaft system with a non-compliant balloon near the distal tip. The balloon is designed to provide an inflatable segment of rated diameter and length at recommended pressures. Two radiopaque markers aid in positioning the balloon catheter under fluoroscopy during the procedure. The device features high rated burst pressure, low compliance, and excellent pushability, trackability and crossability.
