The Medtronic Launcher 8Fr SL50 Coronary Guiding Catheter (REF LA8SL50) is a single-use interventional guiding catheter designed to provide consistent backup support, torque response and a large unobstructed lumen for the delivery of interventional devices into the coronary ostia. The Launcher family is engineered with a stainless steel braid encapsulated between inner and outer polymer layers and a soft atraumatic tip to balance pushability, kink resistance and vessel safety.

Key Features
Stainless steel braided shaft construction for 1:1 torque transmission and shape retention.
Large, polished inner lumen intended to facilitate contrast delivery and passage of interventional devices.
Soft, atraumatic distal tip designed to reduce the risk of vessel trauma at the ostium.
SL50 (Short Left 50) curve geometry intended for engagement of the left coronary ostium in selected anatomies.
8Fr outer diameter to support complex interventions that may require multiple or larger devices.
Hydrophilic-friendly outer surface for smooth advancement through the introducer and vasculature.

Clinical Applications
Intended to introduce interventional cardiology devices into the coronary vasculature during diagnostic and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures.
Commonly selected by clinicians for cases requiring enhanced backup support, including complex PCI, bifurcation work and procedures using larger-profile devices.
Refer to the manufacturer Instructions for Use (IFU) for full indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions.
