From Which Medical Device
The SOS Omni selective catheter features a soft, atraumatic, Super-radiopaque tip intended to reform in the thoracic aorta. The catheter should be pulled from the descending aorta into the abdominal aorta with a floppy Bentson-type guidewire “leading,” sometimes with a rotating motion.
We have found that it can in fact be formed in smaller sections of the aorta and even common ilac arteries. It is a mini sidewinder 2, sometimes called a 'shepherds crook'. Useful for crossing the bifurcation, internal iliac artery/IMA cannulation and other selective catheterisations.
