Sapphire NC Ultra is a balloon catheter for coronary dilation, including expansion of balloon-expandable coronary stents after delivery. Its minimally compliant balloon is designed to permit high-pressure dilation while controlling balloon diameter and length.
The proximal shaft uses a PTFE-coated stainless-steel tube connected to a female Luer fitting. Two platinum-iridium marker bands lie within the balloon segment to provide radiographic reference points.
Balloon and Guidewire Configurations
The rapid-exchange design uses a standard-length 0.014-inch guidewire exiting through a distal exchange port. Balloon diameters range from 1.75 to 5.0 mm. Rated burst pressure is 20 atmospheres for 1.75 to 4.0 mm balloons and 18 atmospheres for 4.5 to 5.0 mm balloons.
