The Medtronic Cello Balloon Guide Catheter (REF 1610580) is an 8 Fr neurovascular guide catheter featuring a compliant distal balloon engineered to provide temporary proximal flow arrest during neurointerventional access and device delivery. The Cello catheter combines a large inner lumen for device passage with an integrated low-profile balloon, supporting stable proximal access in cervical and intracranial procedures.
Key Features
Integrated compliant distal balloon for temporary proximal flow arrest
8 Fr outer diameter with large inner lumen to accommodate intermediate catheters and interventional devices
Atraumatic, soft distal tip designed to reduce vessel trauma during navigation
Hydrophilic coating on the distal segment to enhance trackability through tortuous anatomy
Reinforced shaft construction supporting transition from proximal pushability to distal flexibility
Radiopaque marker to facilitate balloon positioning under fluoroscopy
Single lumen for balloon inflation/deflation separate from working lumen
Clinical Applications
Neurovascular access for interventional procedures requiring proximal support
Temporary occlusion of the cervical internal carotid artery to facilitate flow arrest or flow reversal
Guide catheter platform for delivery of intermediate catheters, microcatheters, and retrieval devices
Use within the supraaortic and cervical vasculature as indicated by the manufacturer’s instructions for use
