Performa Diagnostic Cardiology Catheters

Performa® Diagnostic Cardiology Catheters

The Merit Medical Performa® diagnostic cardiology catheter is designed with improved shaft strength for better pushability and torque. Nylon Pebax® material provides improved kink resistance, while the flat-wire braid design offers greater stability and increased torque. A large inner lumen enables increased flow rates, and the radiopaque tip ensures accurate placement under fluoroscopy.

Key Features

• Nylon Pebax® material — Kink resistant, optimal surface smoothness, thermal stability at body temperature, thin wall for improved flow rate.
• Flat-wire braid design — Increased torque, greater stability, excellent kink resistance, and superior pushability.
• Radiopaque tip — Good shaft visualization under fluoroscopy; tip opacity ensures accurate placement.
• Winged polycarbonate hub — Enhanced handling and control.
• Excellent tip memory — Re-forms accurately time after time.
• Bumper tip (4F line) — Added softness for safe placement of tip into ostium.
• Strain relief — Increased strength at catheter/hub interface; color-coded for easy identification.
