This uniquely constructed microcatheter contains a robust multi-layer shaft that provides impressive flexibility, torque transmission and tracking over a 0.014” guidewire in complex coronary and peripheral interventions.
The Turnpike® Catheter portfolio consists of the Turnpike® Catheter (standard version), the Turnpike® Spiral Catheter, the Turnpike® Gold Catheter, and the Turnpike® LP Catheter. Each catheter contains specific design elements to address various clinical challenges.
Why Torque Matters
Multi-layer shaft provides exceptional delivery
Unique 5-layer composite shaft provides an ideal combination of flexibility and torque to help navigate through complex anatomy
Dual-layer bidirectional coils facilitate torque transmission when rotating the catheter in both a clockwise and counterclockwise fashion
Outer polymer layer paired with a 60 cm distal hydrophilic coating facilitates smooth catheter delivery
Move Beyond Anatomical Challenges with Confidence and Control
In tortuosity and highly stenotic lesions, simply pushing a microcatheter may not be enough. In these instances, torque can help keep you moving forward.
The unique design of Turnpike® Catheters effectively transfers torque from the hub-to-tip —helping you keep the catheter in motion to reduce the friction and force required to advance beyond challenging conditions.
Tortuosity and highly stenotic lesions create friction which can prevent catheter advancement
Torque generated at the hub of the catheter is transmitted down the shaft to create a rotation at the tip*
