What is a Micro Catheter?

A Micro Catheter is a very small, reinforced catheter, typically with an outer diameter between 0.70 and 1.30 mm. While there is no strict size definition, small catheters with diameters between 0.70 and 1.30 mm are often referred to as Micro Catheters. They are delicate medical devices used in minimally invasive interventional procedures and are widely used in peripheral, coronary, and neurovascular interventions.

Micro Catheters offer excellent flexibility, maneuverability, and biocompatibility, effectively meeting the demands of clinical procedures. Their structure consists of an inner catheter layer, an intermediate reinforcement layer, and an outer layer. Their material properties, including biocompatibility, flexibility, and pushability, ensure stability and maneuverability within the vessel.

Micro Catheters can be used for guidewire support/exchange, lesion traversal, and delivery of embolic agents and stents. They have a wide range of clinical applications, including coronary intervention, neurointervention, and tumor intervention.

Micro Catheters are small, reinforced catheters, typically with an outer diameter less than 1 mm. They are commonly used in minimally invasive procedures involving complex vascular structures, enabling access to tiny vessels and cavities, such as neurovascular systems, for precise treatment.

What are the advantages of this Micro Catheter?
Micro Catheters offer several advantages, including the following:

Precise Design: Micro Catheters feature a highly refined design that allows them to adapt to narrow vessels or complex surgical environments.

Soft and Flexible: Micro Catheters are made of a soft plastic material that provides excellent flexibility and elasticity, minimizing damage to blood vessels or tissue.

High-Quality Materials: Micro Catheters are made of high-quality materials with excellent biocompatibility and durability.

Precise Manipulation: Micro Catheters enable precise manipulation, improving the success rate of surgery or treatment.

Minimally Invasive: Micro Catheters excel in procedures requiring minimal tissue disturbance, reducing patient discomfort and recovery time.

Precision: Their small size enables precise placement and delivery of therapeutic agents, such as embolic materials or contrast agents.

Versatility: Micro Catheters have applications in medical specialties such as neurology, interventional radiology, and cardiology.

Improved Imaging: Some Micro Catheters incorporate advanced imaging technology for real-time visualization during procedures.

High Precision: Micro Catheters offer high precision, meeting the demands of clinical procedures.

Customizable Hardness: Micro Catheters can be customized to various hardness levels, making them both pushable and flexible, enabling them to pass through narrow and curved lumens.

Customizable Diameter: Micro Catheters can be customized to various diameters to accommodate variations in the diameter of blood vessels and other lumens.

Rounded Head: The rounded head reduces damage to blood vessel walls and other tissues during surgery.

These advantages make Micro Catheters widely applicable and clinically valuable in the medical field.
