Experience Greater Agility and Stability

The Agilis NxT steerable introducer combines a low profile with high-tech capabilities, giving you greater control during electrophysiology (EP) procedures.³

Indicated for introducing various cardiovascular catheters into the heart, the steerable sheath improves access to hard-to-reach sites (including the left side of the heart through the interatrial septum), eliminating the need to change out sheaths in order to reach the desired position.⁴

Key Features
 

• Multiple curve choices, including small (16.8 mm), medium (22.4 mm) and large (50.0 mm) curl options
• Low-profile outer diameter and a large 8.5 F inner lumen, to facilitate passage of a wide variety of catheters
• Dual-Reach™ bi-directional 180˚/90˚ deflection to allow asymmetric deflection for more mobility with less shaft torque
• Auto-lock capability to reduce curve movements during complex procedures⁵
• Braided shaft provides exceptional torqueability, pushability and kink resistance
• Radiopaque tip marker enhances fluoro visibility
• Ultimum™ hemostasis valve provides effective hemostasis, and seals down to a 0.014 inch guidewire
• Accommodates a 98 cm BRK™ transseptal needle and BRK-1™ transseptal needle
• Ergonomic handle provides user comfort
• Improved kink resistance for difficult or long procedures (G4083xx models)

This device is commercially available for use in select international markets.
