FORCE NC is a high pressure PTCA catheter that ensures pressure when pressure is needed. It combines the high rated burst pressure with superb catheter performances to enable precise post dilatation.
Key performance characteristics of the Force NC are:
High rated burst pressure
- Rated burst pressure 21 ATM (2,0-3,0 mm) ,nominal pressure 12 ATM
- Extensive and safe working range
Outstanding conformability
- No longitudinal growth for controlled expansion, even at high pressures
- No balloon deformations up to rated burst pressure for precise stent apposition
- No dog boning between nominal and rated burst pressure
Real non compliant
- ~ 1% growth per atmosphere between nominal and rated burst pressure
- Controlled equal growth during inflation up to rated burst pressure ensuring exact and protected sizing
Hydrophilic coating
- Fully coated, tip to distal shaft including folded balloon
- Reduced likehood of catheter friction enhanced ease of passage
- Remains durable during multiple inflations
Force NC is a brand of Blue Medical, manufactured in Netherlands and it is EU-MDR certified.
