ASAHI Stride Microcatheter

ASAHI Stride is a Microcatheter that can be used both in PCI an in PTA. Coated with hydrophilic material, the Stride Microcatheter provides an excellent trackability into far distal vessels. The inner layer has a PTFE liner, that enables both guidewire manipulation and infusion of contrast, chemicals and embolic materials. The particular Stainless Steel Braiding structure provides both high torquability and flexibility and an excellent support for guidewire exchange purposes.

Stride 2.2Fr

Designed as a Super-Selective Micro-catheter which enables the approach to far distal vessels for infusion of contrast, chemicals and embolic materials.
Acts as a support catheter for guidewire manipulation in complex PCI cases.
For guidewire exchange purposes.

Stride 2.6Fr

Designed as a High-Flow Micro-catheter which allows infusion of contrast and other infusion agents to the proximal and distal vessels.
Its flexible distal shaft enables the catheter to reach some distal vessels for application of embolic materials and chemicals.

Applications

For Cardiology Use(mainly for Stride 2.2 Fr)

Stride 2.2Fr provides better control over the guidewire.

Stride 2.2Fr provides backup support for guidewire during manipulation.

Stride 2.2Fr enables safe and smooth exchange of guidewires.

For Radiology Use(for Stride 2.2 & 2.6 Fr)

Stride is designed to be used for abdominal region, especially for treatment of hepatic cancer.
