TNMI - Model 7FR IAB - Ultra Catheter Kit

AB catheter sizes and dimensions have been developed over many years. The ratio of length to diameter is a critical part of the fluid dynamics, augmentation and clinical support of IAB catheters. The ULTRA 7FR IAB range uses tried and tested sizes that have been used with excellent results for over a decade.

There is a delicate balance between getting the right diameter of the balloon and “over sizing” which could bring the balloon in constant contact with the delicate inner surface of the aorta. TNMI offers a range of balloons to match patient height. It is the only full range of 7Fr catheters – with the specialty sizes of 30cc and below designed for patients that have the highest need of a 7Fr catheter – small patients

By using proprietary manufacturing techniques, TNMI offers the ULTRA 7FR IAB catheter with 8Fr comparable inflation and deflation performance – no compromise.

Through a unique combination of a patented low angle V-shaped hub, thin yet strong wall construction and inner surfaces that allow for unhindered gas flow – the ULTRA 7FR IAB gives unrivalled performance in amazingly small 7 Fr catheter profile.

“It’s not easy to make a 7FR IAB catheter that actually works.”

In critical patients, where distal flow is compromised, the size of the IAB catheter is a crucial factor in clinical outcomes. Smaller is better. But that only works if the performance of the catheter for both inflation and deflation is not reduced. TNMI offers the amazing

ULTRA 7FR IAB Range. We have packed 8Fr ballooin performance into an amazingly small 7Fr catheter.

Achieving 8Fr Performance in a 7Fr Catheter

No compromise: The ULTRA 7FR IAB can deliver response times comparable to an 8Fr catheter in a 7Fr diameter – allowing patients

to benefit from a smaller profile in the leg and full performance in the aorta

• Strong, thin-walled catheterto maximize gas shuttle area.
• Full-size 0.028” central lumen,which takes a 0.025” guidewire to ensure smooth delivery and better pressure signal transmission.
• Strong yet thin polyurethane balloon, which allows for fast response times.

Designed for improved gas flow rates, allowing faster gas shuttling and excellent clinical performance

The Most Complete Range of 7Fr IAB Catheters

We believe that all patients deserve the merits of 7Fr technology. To that end, we provide the most complete range of 7Fr catheters. In small and shorter patients, with reduced vessel size, it becomes even more critical to use the appropriate balloon volume. That’s why we offer 30cc, 25cc and 20cc, for when true 7Fr really counts. Combine a complete range of catheters with the flexibility to use them on most old and new pumping systems, and the benefits of 7Fr therapy now becomes available to a broader range of patients.

We test every balloon we manufacture before it is packed and shipped. Each balloon we make undergoes rigorous manufacturing and test procedures.

We put every single balloon through a 50,000-cycle test to ensure every component is up to the job. That means inflation number 1 in the patient is inflation number 50,001 for the balloon. The ULTRA 7FR IAB is based on years of clinical experience in thousands of patients.

In accordance with the regulatory bodies, both non-clinical and clinical test data has been provided to the FDA and CE bodies to ensure safe compatibility of the ULTRA 7FR IAB with the most common pumping consoles on the market. This is part of the complex approval and TNMI holds all of the data on file.
