The Stryker Excelsior 1018 Neurovascular Microcatheter (REF M0031441930) is a single-lumen, variable-stiffness microcatheter engineered for selective and super-selective access within the neurovasculature. It features a factory pre-shaped C tip, a 0.019 in (0.48 mm) inner diameter, 2 radiopaque distal tip markers, and a total usable length of 150 cm with a 6 cm distal segment.
Key Features
- Pre-shaped C tip intended to support stable distal positioning in tortuous anatomy.
- 0.019 in (0.48 mm) inner diameter lumen designed for compatibility with a range of 0.014 in guidewires and compatible neurovascular agents/devices.
- Two radiopaque distal tip markers to support fluoroscopic visualization of the working segment.
- Variable-stiffness shaft with a transition from a more supportive proximal section to a flexible distal section.
- Hydrophilic distal coating intended to reduce friction during navigation.
- Working length of 150 cm with a 6 cm distal segment, suited for distal intracranial access from a femoral or radial approach.
Clinical Applications
- General neurovascular diagnostic and interventional procedures requiring selective catheterization of distal cerebral vessels.
- Controlled delivery of physician-selected diagnostic contrast media or therapeutic agents/devices that are labeled compatible with a 0.019 in lumen microcatheter.
- Use as an access conduit for compatible 0.014 in guidewires during navigation of tortuous neurovascular anatomy.
- Refer to the manufacturer's Instructions for Use (IFU) for the complete list of indications, contraindications, warnings, and device compatibility.
