Guiding microcatheter Caravel

blood vesselatraumatic tiphydrophilic

Product overview
A versatile microcatheter for endovascular procedures designed to facilitate access through tortuous anatomy and to support precise guidewire control.

Key claim
Flexible braided shaft and soft atraumatic tip engineered to navigate challenging, highly tortuous vessels while preserving guidewire performance.

Features

• Resistance to rotation: Caravel is designed for pushing, not spinning — do not rotate the catheter during use.
• Low profile tip: Ultra low profile tip tapering to 0.019" (1.4Fr) with tip outer diameter 0.48 mm (1.4Fr).
• Compatibility / device selection: Two Caravel microcatheters fit in a 6Fr guide catheter (example: ASAHI Hyperion 6Fr ID: 1.80 mm (0.071 inch)). One Caravel plus IVUS fits in a 7Fr guide catheter (example: ASAHI Hyperion 7Fr ID: 2.05 mm (0.081 inch)).
• Pushability and crossability: ACT ONE precision braided shaft balances flexibility and lumen integrity to maintain optimal guidewire performance.
• Smooth transition: Gradual change in flexibility from tip to shaft to improve tracking around acute bends.
• Kink resistance: Reinforced internal lumen integrity reduces risk of kinking in tortuous anatomy.
