spexLP

spexLP

spexLP is an extremely low-profile, shapeable support catheter designed to help physicians reach the most challenging peripheral vascular anatomies, particularly when treating critical limb ischemia (CLI). The catheter features a robust yet flexible design that enables effective lesion crossing while providing excellent support and visibility during the procedure. spexLP has a hydrophilic coating for improved lubricity, three markers for precise positioning, and a shapeable tip that the physician can adjust as needed. This single-use device is available in a range of sizes and lengths to suit a variety of clinical scenarios.

Additional info

Developed by Reflow Medical, spexLP is the lowest-profile reinforced support catheter designed to improve and secure vascular access. It is engineered to help physicians reach and cross the most challenging lesions, particularly when treating critical limb ischemia (CLI).

Key features:

  • Lowest profile: spexLP has an extremely low-profile tip that allows it to reach and cross the most challenging lesions without sacrificing catheter strength.
  • Three radiopaque markers: the catheter has three radiopaque markers that improve visibility and help accurately determine catheter position during the procedure.
  • Hydrophilic coating: a seamless, low-profile hydrophilic coating increases lubricity and facilitates passage through lesions.
  • Shapeable tip: allows the physician to shape the desired angle, which is maintained throughout the procedure, with the ability to straighten or reshape the angle as needed.
  • Compatibility: works with the physician's guidewire and procedural technique of choice. In addition, spexLP 18 or spexLP 14 can be telescoped with spexLP 35 to maximise support.
