What are Micro Catheter used for?

These tiny, flexible Micro Catheter are the "lifeways" of modern medical devices. They can navigate the complex vascular network of the human body, greatly expanding doctors' capabilities for minimally invasive surgery. Simply put, Micro Catheter are key "tool carriers" for precise diagnosis and treatment.

The Core Use of Micro Catheter: The Art of Precision Delivery

Micro Catheter are flexible catheters with extremely small inner diameters, key to enabling superselective cannulation and targeted therapy. Their primary functions are:

• Precise Positioning and Diagnosis: Micro Catheter can reach the smallest and most tortuous distal vessels in areas such as the brain, heart, and liver, delivering contrast agents and enabling precise angiographic diagnosis.
  
  
• Targeted Drug or Substance Delivery: This is the most important therapeutic application of Micro Catheter. They can accurately deliver therapeutic agents such as embolic agents, chemotherapy drugs, or coils for cerebral aneurysms to the lesion, achieving targeted treatment with minimal trauma.
  

Quality Assurance: LINSTANT's Manufacturing Strength

To ensure smooth and precise operation of Micro Catheter within blood vessels, the quality of the catheter itself is crucial. This requires products with exceptional flexibility, maneuverability, and biocompatibility.

Since its founding in 2014, LINSTANT has specialized in extrusion, coating, and post-processing technologies for medical polymer catheters, dedicated to providing medical device manufacturers with high-precision, high-safety components. LINSTANT's manufacturing expertise enables the creation of high-performance Micro Catheter that meet the stringent clinical demands of minimally invasive surgery:

• High-end Materials and Processing: LINSTANT boasts 15 imported single-, double-, and triple-layer co-extrusion lines, as well as eight PEEK extrusion lines specifically designed for high-temperature-resistant, high-strength catheters, ensuring superior material performance and dimensional accuracy.
  
  
• Efficient Integrated Manufacturing: LINSTANT's nearly 20,000 m² GMP-compliant cleanroom is equipped with nearly 100 braiding, stretching, and coating machines and 40 welding and forming machines, ensuring stable production capacity for complex multi-layer, multi-lumen microcatheter structures.
  
  

Thanks to suppliers like LINSTANT who focus on core technologies, the application range of Micro Catheter is expanding, especially in complex vascular procedures such as chronic total occlusion (CTO) and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).
