The Medtronic Launcher 6Fr PK1W Coronary Guiding Catheter (REF LA6PK1W) is a single-use, preformed coronary guiding catheter engineered to deliver predictable performance, reliable backup support, and a smooth, atraumatic delivery platform for coronary interventional procedures. The Launcher family is built around a stainless steel braided shaft and a soft, tapered atraumatic tip, intended to provide stable ostial engagement and an optimized lumen for device delivery.

Key Features
Stainless steel braided three-layer shaft engineered for torque response and kink resistance.
Preformed PK1W curve geometry intended to provide stable engagement and consistent backup support.
Soft, tapered atraumatic distal tip designed to reduce the risk of vessel trauma during cannulation.
6 French outer diameter with a large inner lumen optimized for the passage of interventional devices and contrast delivery.
Hydrophilic or lubricious coating on the outer surface (per Launcher product family specifications) to support smooth navigation through tortuous anatomy.
Radiopaque marker characteristics consistent with the Launcher family for fluoroscopic visualization.
Standard usable length consistent with the Launcher coronary guiding catheter family — confirm exact length on the product label.

Clinical Applications
Intended for use as a conduit during percutaneous coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Facilitates the introduction and delivery of interventional devices such as guidewires, balloon catheters, and stent delivery systems into the coronary vasculature.
Supports contrast media injection for coronary angiography during interventional workflows.
Suitable for selective cannulation of coronary ostia where a PK1W-type curve is clinically indicated by the operator.
