The Medtronic Launcher 5Fr EBU40 Coronary Guiding Catheter (REF LA5EBU40) is a single-use guiding catheter designed to facilitate access to the coronary ostia and provide a stable conduit for the introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices. The EBU (Extra Back-Up) curve is shaped to engage the left coronary ostium with reliable secondary support against the contralateral aortic wall, while the 5Fr profile supports radial and femoral approaches.

Key Features
Extra Back-Up (EBU) 4.0 cm curve optimized for the left coronary system.
5Fr outer diameter for radial-friendly access.
Three-layer construction combining an inner PTFE liner, stainless steel braid, and outer polymer jacket for torque response and kink resistance.
Soft, atraumatic tip designed to reduce vessel trauma during engagement.
Large lumen relative to French size to support contrast injection and device delivery.
Hydrophilic or lubricious coating as specified by the manufacturer for smooth navigation.
Sterile, single-use packaging.

Clinical Applications
Selective angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the left coronary artery.
Delivery of guidewires, balloon catheters, stents, and other interventional devices.
Procedures favoring strong passive back-up support, including complex and calcified left-sided lesions.
Suitable for transradial and transfemoral access strategies based on operator preference.
