The Paclitaxel-eluting balloon “Luminor 18” is a coaxial catheter (OTW,
over-the-wire) designed for percutaneous transluminal angioplasties of small
peripheral arteries.
The guidewire runs into the inner lumen while the outer lumen is intended
for contrast medium flow. The maximum diameter of the guide wire must not
exceed 0.46 mm = 0.018 inches. Optionally, a guidewire measuring 0.014” = 0.36
mm can be used under medical criteria and in the cases where it is required by
the lesion to be treated.
On the catheter’s distal part, just before the tip, there is the balloon
(inflatable segment) that will dilate the artery upon inflating by means of
infusion of contrast fluid inside it. The connector is Y-shaped and it has two
entry ports:
– The straight port is intended for guidewire passage.
