FORCE NC is a high pressure PTCA catheter that ensures pressure when pressure is needed. It combines the highest rated burst pressure with superb catheter performances to enable precise post dilatation.
Key performance characteristics of the Force NC are:
highest rated burst pressure available
Rated burst pressure 24 bar, nominal pressure 12 bar
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
unsurpassed flexibility and low profile
Ease of use equal to high performance workhorse catheters
Lesion entry profile 0.016’’ (0.40 mm)
Balloon profile distal 0.023’’ (0.58 mm), proximal 0.025’’ (0.63 mm)
real non compliant
Less than 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
newest generation hydrophilic coating
Fully coated, tip to distal shaft including folded balloon
Eliminates catheter friction, prevents release of particles
Remains durable during multiple inflations
