MicroCATH
Flow Direct Catheter
MicroCATHⓇ Catheter is a Neurovascular intervention that uses minimally-invasive endovascular techniques to treat vascular diseases of the brain. Physicians who perform these procedures receive highly specialized training in interventional neuroradiology and/or endovascular neurosurgery.

Invamed MicroCath Catheter products are Medical-Surgical products (which can be used inside the body in surgeries) with the qualifications required by MEDDEV 2.7.1 and the “EU Directive” numbered 93/42/EEC. There are different types according to different usage areas and diameters. It is suitable for the use of 0.014” micro guide wire and is supplied together. The tip has a radiopaque marker and is highly visible under ultrasound. 5F, 6F, and 7F diameter; It has 90 cm and 150 cm lengths and is compatible with embolizing agents. DMSO compatible. It has an internal diameter of 0.028 in (0.7 mm/0.6 mm/0.5 mm) flowing minimally in the distal regions. The microcatheter lumen can be contained within steerable guidewires 0.018 in (0.47 mm) in diameter or less. Embolizing agent is compatible.
Detailed specifications
We offer advanced solutions for the treatments of the following brain diseases:
- Intracerebral AVMs and AV Fistulas
- Intracerebral aneurysms
- Inntracranial stenosis
- Ischemic stroke and intracerebral thrombus
- Tumors
MicroCATHⓇCatheter is the Flow dependent microcatheter with a strong resistance to pressure and total DMSO compatibility.
The catheters are the only real flow-dependent catheters, meaning that their progression through the arteries system is facilitated by the blood flow. This characteristic is achieved thanks to an extreme suppleness of the tubes which allows a fast and non-traumatic progression of the catheter inside the blood vessels.
Detectable-part
Compatible embolizing agents:
- NBCA
- ethanol
- lipiodol
- microspheres
- PVA Particles
- Chemoembolization Agents
- Contrast media
The use of the MicroCATHⓇ detachable-tip microcatheter for embolization of AVMs and AVFs is associated with high rates of successful catheterization and obliteration and low rates of morbidity and mortality.
