The Medtronic Launcher 8Fr CHAMP20 Coronary Guiding Catheter (REF LA8CHAMP20) is a single-lumen guiding catheter designed to deliver interventional devices to the coronary ostia. Built on the Launcher platform, it combines a stainless steel braided shaft with a smooth inner lumen to support reliable device passage, predictable torque transmission, and stable coaxial alignment during percutaneous coronary procedures.

Key Features
Three-layer braided shaft construction engineered for kink resistance and 1:1 torque response.
Soft, atraumatic distal tip designed to reduce risk of vessel trauma at engagement.
Smooth PTFE inner lumen to facilitate device delivery and minimize friction.
CHAMP20 curve geometry intended to provide enhanced backup support for complex coronary anatomy.
8Fr outer diameter offering a large inner lumen for multi-device or bulky equipment delivery.
Radiopaque marker tip to support fluoroscopic visualization.

Clinical Applications
Engagement of coronary ostia during diagnostic angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Delivery of interventional devices including balloons, stents, and atherectomy systems.
Procedures requiring strong passive backup support, such as complex or calcified lesions.
Cases where larger lumen access is preferred for multi-device techniques (e.g., kissing balloon or two-stent bifurcation strategies).
