The Medtronic Launcher 8Fr MPST Coronary Guiding Catheter (REF LA8MPST) is a single-use guiding catheter designed to deliver consistent performance during percutaneous coronary interventions. The Launcher family combines a stainless steel braid with a soft, atraumatic tip to provide a balance of pushability, torque transmission and vessel-friendly engagement. The MPST (Multipurpose Short Tip) curve is intended to support engagement of vessels where a multipurpose configuration is preferred, including grafts and anomalous coronary anatomy.

Key Features
Full-length stainless steel braid construction for predictable torque response.
Large, smooth inner lumen to facilitate device delivery and contrast injection.
Soft atraumatic tip designed to reduce the risk of vessel trauma during engagement.
Pre-shaped MPST (Multipurpose Short Tip) curve for targeted vessel access.
8Fr outer diameter compatible with high-profile interventional devices.
Hydrophilic-friendly surface finish to support smooth navigation through tortuous anatomy.

Clinical Applications
Intended for use in introducing interventional and diagnostic devices into the coronary vasculature.
Supports guide-dependent procedures such as PCI, balloon angioplasty and stent delivery.
MPST curve is commonly selected for engagement of saphenous vein grafts, the right coronary artery with inferior take-off, or anomalous coronary origins.
Suitable for procedures requiring a larger 8Fr lumen for complex device delivery, including bifurcation techniques and atherectomy support, where clinically appropriate.
