The AXS Catalyst 7 Distal Access Catheter empowers first past efficacy with navigation through tortuosity and compatibility with the FlowGate2 Balloon Guide Catheter.

The AXS Catalyst Distal Access Catheter is a single lumen, variable stiffness catheter designed for use in facilitating the insertion and guidance of appropriately sized interventional devices into the peripheral and neurovascular system. The catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during use. The catheter includes a radiopaque marker on the distal end for angiographic visualization and a luer hub on the proximal end allowing attachments for flushing and aspiration. It is packaged with a Rotating Hemostasis Valve (RHV) and Tuohy Borst valve with sideport for flushing, insertion of catheters and aspiration. The peel away introducer sheaths are designed to protect the distal tip of the catheter during insertion into the RHV or Tuohy Borst.
