This 40 MHz catheter provides outstanding image clarity with its excellent image resolution. Its transducer housing, together with its drive shaft, is designed for an organized imaging core rotation. It allows a large window clearance for imaging decreasing friction in the natural anatomy. Its catheter performance is excellent as it uses the Bioslide Hydrophilic Coating to improve pushability in the challenging anatomy during bench tests which utilizes models. It has a tip that provides kink resistance. It has a 6F catheter compatibility and has a tapered tip with an entry profile of .022 inches. It has a unique coating made of hydrophilic polymer which absorbs water molecules that creates an interface rapidly on the device's surface during the presence of body fluids or water. Because of this, the catheter becomes very slick for the reduction of the device's push force.
