Excelsior^® SL-10 Microcatheter

Product Information

Optimized for Atraumatic Access
Specifically engineered for atraumatic access, the low-durometer, unbraided tip offers unparalleled softness and flexibility.

1.7F Ultra-Low Profile Tip
An ultra-low profile tip design enhances access to distal vasculature and facilitates passage of the catheter tip through stent interstices for efficient treatment of wide-neck aneurysms.

Large 0.0165" Inner Lumen
Designed for broad device compatibility, the Excelsior SL-10 Microcatheter is the first choice for Matrix^2®and GDC^®-10 Coils, and accommodates .010" and .014" guidewires.

Superb Tip-Shape Retention
A highly steam-shapeable tip offers shape retention to accommodate anatomical variation, enhance vessel selectivity, and help maintain position within the aneurysm.

* Not compatible with Matrix Extra-Firm Coils

Additional Information

Steam Shaping Choices
Steam shaping allows the physician to create unique tip designs to address variation in vessel morphology. Tip shape retention enhances vessel selectivity and helps to maintain position during coil delivery. The Excelsior SL-10 Microcatheter features a highly steam-shapeable tip with exceptional shape retention characteristics.

Straight Tips For greater versatility, apply a custom shape to straight-tip microcatheters. Pre-Shaped Tips For greater convenience, select the desired pre-shaped microcatheter and apply secondary shapes proximal to the pre-shaped tip.

Advanced Composite Shaft Construction
The Excelsior SL-10 Microcatheter features advanced composite shaft construction for enhanced pushability, trackability, stability, and lumen integrity.

Radiopaque Marker Bands
Highly radiopaque, platinum marker bands distally and proximally provide superb visualization.

Precisely Located Proximal Marker
The proximal marker band is precisely located on the shaft body to facilitate alignment of the coil delivery wire within the microcatheter prior to coil detachment.

Thin-Wall™ Technology
Proprietary, composite-shaft technology maximizes the ID/OD ratio of the catheter to provide a large 0.0165" ID lumen within an ultra-low profile 1.7F OD distal shaft.

PTFE Inner Lumen
The ultra-smooth inner lumen surface facilitates manipulation of guidewires and detachable coils within the microcatheter.

Hydrolene® Hydrophilic Polymer Coating
A lubricious outer surface facilitates advancement and negotiation of the microcatheter within the guide catheter and through challenging anatomy.

Transparent Hub
A transparent polymer hub allows guidewires, coils, and embolic agents to be introduced under direct visualization.
