DraKon^™

Track well. Reach farther ^1,2,3
With no compromise. Optimizing pushability, flexibility, torqueability for improved trackability.

Design Overview

See image in full size

High performance peripheral microcatheter for challenging anatomies

Facilitates smooth passage of fluids, embolic agents and devices (such as guidewires).⁴
Enhances tip visibility.⁴
Picks per inch of length (PPI) = Number of times the wire crosses for every inch of shaft length. The higher the PPI, the more wire coverage is achieved. 130 PPI braiding meets performance requirements in term of torqueability, pushability without compromising flexibility. Tungsten RO braid runs through the entire catheter length, allowing enhanced visbility under fluoroscopy.^{2, 4}
Easy navigation through tortuous vessels.^{1, 2, 3}
7 segments high performance polymers designed to enhance proximal support & pushability while providing optimal flexibility & trackability to the distal tip.

Optimizing pushability, flexibility, torqueability for improved trackability.
