Angiographic catheters are thin, flexible tubes used during imaging procedures to inject contrast dye into blood vessels, helping doctors visualize the vascular system in areas like the brain, abdomen, or limbs. They are inserted through the skin and often include markers to guide precise placement, while some models also measure blood pressure gradients during the procedure.
These devices are typically single-use and may come with disposable accessories like sheaths. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their risk level and intended use, ensuring compliance with safety and performance standards before market entry.
