The Stryker Excelsior 1018 Microcatheter (REF M0031441910) is a neurovascular microcatheter engineered for selective catheterization of the peripheral and neuro vasculature and for the controlled delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents and compatible interventional devices. It features a pre-shaped 90° distal tip, a 0.019 in (0.48 mm) inner lumen, a working length of 150 cm, a 6 cm distal segment, and two radiopaque tip markers to support fluoroscopic visualization during navigation and deployment.
Key Features
- Pre-shaped 90° tip designed to facilitate navigation and vessel selection.
- Inner diameter 0.019 in (0.48 mm) compatible with a range of neurovascular devices and infusates.
- Two distal radiopaque markers to aid fluoroscopic positioning and device deployment.
- Total usable length 150 cm with a 6 cm distal segment for distal access support.
- Variable-stiffness shaft transition intended to balance proximal pushability with distal flexibility and trackability.
- Hydrophilic distal coating to help reduce friction during navigation through tortuous anatomy.
Clinical Applications
- Selective and super-selective catheterization within the neurovascular and peripheral vasculature.
- Controlled delivery of diagnostic contrast media.
- Infusion of physician-specified therapeutic agents permitted by the device labeling.
- Delivery of compatible interventional devices such as embolic coils consistent with the 0.019 in lumen specification.
Refer to the manufacturer Instructions for Use for the complete list of indications, contraindications, warnings and compatible devices.
