Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Versaflex Buchbinder Omniflex PTCA Catheter System is a Catheter, Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty, Percutaneous, designed for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). It features an inflatable balloon at the distal end, which is deployed to mechanically dilate narrowed or obstructed coronary arteries, restoring blood flow and improving myocardial perfusion.
This system is supplied as a sterile, single-use device and is intended for use in cardiac catheterization laboratories under fluoroscopic guidance. Available in multiple configurations—including sizes such as 18K, 18K with Tip Marker, 14K, 14K Long, Panther 30, and 40—it adheres to FDA Premarket Approval (PMA P870036) and is classified under Product Code LOX. The device is non-magnetic and compatible with MRI-safe imaging equipment, though it must be used in accordance with established clinical protocols.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What clinical procedure is the Versaflex Buchbinder Omniflex PTCA Catheter System designed for, and how does it function?
The Versaflex Buchbinder Omniflex PTCA Catheter System is specifically designed for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), a procedure used to mechanically dilate narrowed or obstructed coronary arteries. It achieves this by inflating a balloon at its distal end under fluoroscopic guidance, which expands the artery and restores blood flow to improve myocardial perfusion.
Is this catheter system single-use or reusable, and what does that mean for clinical workflow?
The Versaflex Buchbinder Omniflex PTCA Catheter System is sterile and single-use only, meaning each catheter is intended for one procedure and must not be reused. This ensures patient safety by eliminating cross-contamination risks and simplifies clinical workflow by avoiding reprocessing steps.
What sizes and configurations are available for this catheter system, and how might that affect my selection?
The system comes in multiple configurations, including 18K, 18K with Tip Marker, 14K, 14K Long, Panther 30, and 40. These variations allow clinicians to choose based on the specific anatomy, lesion type, or procedural requirements—such as longer catheters for complex cases or specific shaft profiles for better maneuverability.
Can this catheter be used with MRI-safe imaging equipment, and are there any special considerations?
Yes, the Versaflex Buchbinder Omniflex PTCA Catheter System is non-magnetic and compatible with MRI-safe imaging equipment. However, it must still be used in accordance with established clinical protocols, as the balloon inflation and other procedural steps remain subject to standard safety guidelines for PTCA.
How is the regulatory approval status of this device relevant to my purchase or use?
The device holds FDA Premarket Approval (PMA P870036), which confirms it meets rigorous standards for safety and effectiveness as a Catheter, Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty, Percutaneous. This approval ensures compliance with U.S. regulatory requirements, though actual use must align with the labeled indications and clinical protocols provided by the manufacturer.
