With flexible, kink-resistant
®
INTRODUCERS
you get everything you need
to succeed.
Reaching your destination in complex interventional procedures
requires the skill to pick the best route and the strength and
flexibility to move smoothly through difficult terrain.
The
unique sheath construction in Cook Flexor Introducers provides
optimal flexibility and maximum resistance to kinking or compression. On suitably configured devices, an
AQ® hydrophilic coating
dramatically reduces friction to enhance deliverability, while Flexor’s
large, low-friction PTFE-coated lumen facilitates device delivery.
A
radiopaque band on the tip of devices commonly delivered under
fluoroscopy assures vibrant visualization to help guide your way.
Available in one of the
industry’s broadest selections of need-specific
shapes and configurations, there’s a Flexor Introducer for the most
demanding bracheocephalic, renal and iliofemoral procedures.
With Cook’s broad line of Flexor Introducers, you have the
strength and flexibility to approach your most challenging
cases with confidence.
Large, Low Friction Lumen
Large PTFE lumen facilitates unconstrained device delivery.
