Catheter Directed Thrombolysis (CDT) offers many advantages over alternative treatments and is a viable option for managing thrombus. For over 20 years, AngioDynamics has been the market leader for CDT catheters with its innovative slit technology to infuse a consistent, even distribution of lytic agent to an area of clot. The Uni-Fuse Infusion Catheters use this time-tested proprietary technology to provide faster and more effective treatment for clots, and its sturdier construction makes it more versatile.
The Uni-Fuse Infusion Catheters with Pressure Response Outlets and the occluding ball wire allow for even pressure distribution throughout the catheter, resulting in a more even distribution of lytic agents.
A standard sidehole catheter design results in the lytic agent following the path of least resistance causing uneven distribution.
The Uni-Fuse Catheter family is designed with these key features to offer the optimal CDT catheter for improved patient outcomes:
- Pressure Response Outlets: allow for even distribution of lytic throughout the length of the catheter vs. standard side hole infusion catheters*
- Occluding Ball Wire: prevents kinking and provides the proper force to activate pressure response outlets
- Radiopaque Markers: for ease of placement
- Sturdier Construction: less catheter material is removed when making slits versus making holes allowing for a stronger catheter with more pushability
- Various Infusion Pattern Lengths: Wide range from 2 cm to 50 cm enables precise matching of catheter infusion pattern to clot burden, ensuring optimal drug coverage across the entire thrombus
- Two in One Catheter Functionality: Occluding ball wire in PRO Infusion Catheter is used to activate the pressure response outlets, while removing the occluding ball wire enables catheter to be used for contrast injections for checking progress under fluoro
- Supports catheter over bifurcation
- Compatible with a 0.035” guidewire
