Product catalog summary

Overview
The ELCA™ Coronary Laser Atherectomy Catheter is a versatile tool for coronary interventions, leveraging over 20 years of proven technology. It features optimally spaced fibers, adjustable laser energy settings, and an automatic shut-off for enhanced patient safety.

Advanced Performance
Key performance features include saline infusion for improved safety, slow advancement for increased luminal gain, and specific tip designs for lesion-specific treatment. The catheter adheres to the two-thirds vessel sizing rule for predictable outcomes.

Indications and Applications
The catheter is suitable for a broad range of indications, including total occlusions traversable by a guidewire, occluded saphenous vein grafts, ostial lesions, moderately calcified stenoses, long lesions, and restenosis in stainless steel stents prior to brachytherapy.

Ordering Information
The document provides detailed specifications for various models, including guidewire and guide catheter compatibility, minimum vessel diameter, and laser settings.

Safety Information
Indications for use include occluded saphenous vein bypass grafts and lesions that are traversable by a guidewire. Contraindications include lesions in unprotected left main arteries and those beyond acute bends. The device is for single use only and must be stored properly.

Precautions and Warnings
Use is restricted to trained physicians. The device should be used in facilities capable of performing emergency coronary bypass surgery. Patients with diabetes, a history of smoking, or tortuous vessels are at higher risk for complications.
