Product overviewASAHI SASUKE is an OTW double-lumen microcatheter designed for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). It combines three core technologies to improve shaft stability, kink resistance and distal trackability, supporting precise guidewire control and device delivery in tortuous vessels.
Key Features- Kink resistance: double stainless steel core provides high kink resistance and improved pushability.
- Risk reduction / stability: oval shaft design equalizes distal shaft thickness to reduce perforation risk from stiff guidewires and stabilizes the shaft against the vessel wall to prevent roll.
- Trackability: tapered soft tip, based on ASAHI Corsair/Caravel design, maintains trackability in tortuous anatomy.
- Visibility: clearly identifiable guidewire position at the OTW lumen exit port for precise wire control.
- Lubricity: L3 (Long Lasting Lubricity) coating enhances surface lubricity and coating durability.
