The Headway 17 Advanced SOFT Microcatheter from Terumo Neuro (REF MC172150S) is a variable-stiffness, single-lumen microcatheter engineered for selective and super-selective navigation within the neurovasculature. With a 0.017 in inner diameter and a 150 cm working length, it is intended to support controlled access in distal cerebral vessels and to facilitate the introduction and delivery of compatible diagnostic and interventional devices and infusates.
Key Features
- Inner diameter: 0.017 in, supporting compatible 0.017 in class devices and infusates.
- Working length: 150 cm for distal intracranial reach via standard guide catheter setups.
- Advanced SOFT distal segment for atraumatic distal navigation in tortuous anatomy.
- Variable-stiffness shaft transitioning from a supportive proximal section to a flexible distal tip for trackability and pushability.
- Hydrophilic coating on the distal segment to reduce friction during navigation.
- Reinforced shaft construction designed to resist kinking and support lumen integrity.
- Radiopaque distal marker(s) for fluoroscopic visualization of tip position.
- Single-lumen design optimized for compatibility with neurovascular guidewires and delivery devices in the 0.017 in class.
Clinical Applications
- Selective and super-selective catheterization of the peripheral and neurovascular systems.
- Controlled, selective infusion of physician-specified diagnostic agents, such as contrast media.
- Controlled, selective infusion of physician-specified therapeutic agents.
- Delivery of compatible interventional devices into the target neurovascular site as labeled by the manufacturer.
- Refer to the official Instructions for Use for complete indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions.
