The Medtronic Launcher 8Fr MPHK Coronary Guiding Catheter (REF LA8MPHK) is a single-use, preformed coronary guiding catheter designed to deliver consistent backup support, smooth device tracking, and reliable torque transmission during percutaneous coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures. The Launcher family is engineered with a stainless steel braid encapsulated between inner and outer polymer layers to provide kink resistance, dimensional stability, and a large, smooth inner lumen for the introduction and exchange of interventional devices.

Key Features
Stainless steel braided shaft for predictable torque response and kink resistance.
Smooth PTFE inner lumen to facilitate device delivery and minimize friction.
Soft, atraumatic distal tip designed to reduce the risk of vessel trauma during engagement.
Preformed MPHK (Multipurpose Hockey Stick) curve geometry for targeted vessel cannulation.
8Fr outer diameter providing a large inner lumen to accommodate complex interventional devices.
Radiopaque construction supporting clear fluoroscopic visualization.
Consistent shaft transition from proximal stiffness to distal flexibility for stable backup support.

Clinical Applications
Introduction and support of interventional cardiology devices into the coronary vasculature.
Selective engagement of coronary ostia and bypass grafts where a multipurpose-style curve is preferred.
Procedures requiring a larger 8Fr lumen for multi-device or complex PCI strategies.
Diagnostic angiography and contrast media delivery during catheterization workflows.
