SMOOTH TECHNOLOGY

After deploying a GEC, the ability to deliver stents, balloons, and other interventional devices through the catheter is critical.

Telescope GEC with SmoothPass technology includes three components working together to help guide response devices:

1. Tapered distal pushwire section — solid, rounded, proximal pushwire transitions for flexibility
2. Short 4 cm polymer ramp top — maintains superior deliverability3 and diverts response devices
3. Input port – contributes to smooth device entry and delivery

TELESCOP DATE IN THE GLASS AORTIC ARCH MODEL

1. Spade marker tape confirms the direction of the catheter on fluoroscopy
2. Entry point
3. Resolute Onyx™ DES running along the ramp to the inlet port
4. Ramp top

DISTAL 25 CM CATHETER:

• Coil-reinforced design and hydrophilic coating help increase flexibility and delivery
• PTFE liner provides a low friction inner lumen

1. Flexible TruFlex soft polymer tip
2. Rigid polymer in proximal sheath for luminal integrity
3. Flexible polymer in main sheath for deliverability
4. Robust, round push wire with superior pushability
