Sapphire NC24

Coronary Dilatation Catheter

Optimal combination of robustness,
controlled compliance,
and re-crossability

True Controlled Balloon Compliance

Lowest % Circumferential Growth* (Nom to RBP)

*Data on in-house bench test data on Ø 3.0 mm balloons

Lowest % Circumferential Growth* (Nom to RBP)

*Data on in-house bench test data on Ø 3.0 mm balloons
Minimal circumferential and longitudinal growth (Nom to RBP) for maximum accuracy and safety during lesion preparation and stent optimization.

High Pressure Tolerance

*Data on in-house bench test data on Ø 3.0 mm balloons

High pressure tolerance of 24 atm RBP up to 3.5 mm diameter without compromising crossability

High Pressure Tolerance & Precise Control

The Sapphire NC24 is designed for high-pressure dilatation while maintaining precise control of the balloon diameter and length, making it ideal for preparing tight, calcified lesions and stent optimization.
