NC Xperience Non-Compliant Balloon Catheter

A high-pressure, rapid-exchange PTCA balloon catheter with HYDRAX® hydrophilic coating, designed for outstanding crossability and pushability in complex coronary interventions.

Why It Matters

The NC Xperience Non-Compliant Balloon Catheter is engineered for pre- and post-dilatation in challenging coronary procedures, including heavily calcified lesions and stent optimization, offering exceptional durability and precision to improve patient outcomes.

Highlights and Features

HYDRAX® hydrophilic coating for ultra-low friction and enhanced trackability.
Low tip profile (0.016″) and balloon crossing profile (0.029″–0.037″) for superior crossability.
Two Pt-Ir radiopaque markers for precise positioning under fluoroscopy.
High-pressure capability with rated burst pressure (RBP) up to 20 atm and absolute burst pressure (ABP) of 25 atm.
Kissing-balloon compatible with 5F/6F guiding catheters for versatile use.
Cone-shaped atraumatic tip for safe navigation through coronary arteries.

Clinical Applications

The NC Xperience is designed for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), ideal for dilating stenoses in native coronary arteries or bypass grafts, treating hard, calcified lesions, and optimizing stent apposition during post-dilatation. Its high-pressure capability and kissing-balloon compatibility make it suitable for complex coronary interventions.
