Arrow FiberOptix Sensor Catheters

Arrow® FiberOptix® Sensor Technology

 
The Arrow® IAB is utilized for intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation therapy in the aorta, whereby balloon inflation, during diastole and deflation, during systole increases blood supply to the heart muscle and decreases work of the left ventricle.
 

Features

• Designed to capture and transmit the high-fidelity AP signal at the speed of light
• Backup safety for AP signal: If required, the FiberOptix® Technology can be used as a traditional fluid-filled catheter
• Abrasion-resistant: The Cardiothane® II Membrane offers a unique design of abrasion resistant material with hydrophilic coating
• Universal design: Sheathed or sheathless insertion options; optional hemostasis device for post-insertion bleeding control
• Works with unique components of the AutoCAT2WAVE® and AC3 Optimus™ IABPs to deliver ProActive CounterPulsation® Technology
