Force NC
Precise Powerful Post Dilatation
About FORCE NC
FORCE NC, the high pressure PTCA catheter that ensures pressure when pressure is needed without compromising on flexibility, profile and catheter performance. Now get the catheter with superb performances that enables precise and safe post dilatation.
THE LOW PROFILE, FLEXIBLE HIGH PRESSURE PTCA
High rated burst pressure
- Rated burst pressure 21 bar (2,0-3,0 mm), nominal pressure 12 bar
- Providing an extensive and safe working range
Conformability
- No longitudinal growth for controlled expansion, even at high pressures
- No balloon deformations up to rated burst pressure for precise stent apposition
- No dog boning between nominal and rated burst pressure
Flexibility and low profile
- Optimized materials and design for flexibility and low profiles
- Ease of use equal to high performance workhorse catheters
Real non compliantReal non compliant
- Real non compliant: ~1% growth per atmosphere between nominal and rated burst pressure
- Controlled equal growth during inflation up to rated burst pressure
- Precise compliance ensuring exact and protected sizing
Hydrophilic coating
- Fully coated, tip to distal shaft including folded balloon
- Reduced likehood of catheter friction enchances ease of passage
- Remains durable during multiple inflations
