The VACS® dilatation catheter
The VACS® dilatation catheter is a PTV balloon catheter with a coaxial design and an expandable balloon that can be positioned over a guidewire (over-the-wire). The low balloon profile of the VACS® II (PTV) balloon catheter allows the use of the smallest possible introducer set. In contrast, the VACS® III balloon catheter features a reinforced balloon segment that provides exceptionally high pressure resistance..
Special features:
- Atraumatic tip
- Short inflation and deflation periods
- Radiopaque gold marker rings
- Comprehensive size range for maximal flexibility
- Proven for over 20 years in children, adults and TAVI applications
- Clinical data and scientific publications on over 2500 applications
Technical data:
The following tables summarize the specifications for VACS® II and VACS® III balloon catheters.
Detailed balloon size data (Balloon-∅, article numbers, pressures, guide wire sizes, etc.) are included as structured tables in the original source and can be appended as needed.
