Philips RX Digital IVUS Catheter Vision PV.014P

Product Overview

The RX Digital IVUS Catheter Visions PV.014P offers enhanced pushability for peripheral interventions. It features a 55% stiffer shaft compared to the Eagle Eye Platinum, while maintaining equivalent trackability. This design facilitates greater maneuverability in complex anatomy.

Visual Description: The product is depicted in use by medical professionals in a surgical setting, highlighting its application in interventional procedures.

IVUS Assessment Capabilities

Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) provides detailed and accurate assessment of key vascular parameters, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment planning for peripheral artery disease (PAD).

• Lumen size
• Vessel size
• Plaque morphology
• Key anatomical landmarks

By delivering detailed measurements of lumen and vessel dimensions, plaque characteristics, and anatomical landmarks, Philips intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) serves as a critical tool in the assessment and management of peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Visual Description: An IVUS image displays a cross-section of an artery, illustrating the visualization of plaque buildup and lumen diameter.

See clearly. Treat optimally.

Performance Comparison

Average Compression Force

Visual Description: A bar chart compares the average compression force in pounds-force (lbf) for three catheter types: Visions PV.014P, Visions PV.018, and Eagle Eye Platinum. The Visions PV.014P and Visions PV.018 show similar, higher compression forces (approximately 3.563 lbf and 3.578 lbf, respectively) compared to the Eagle Eye Platinum (approximately 2.296 lbf).

Stiffness Comparison

Visual Description: Two bar charts illustrate the relative stiffness of the Visions PV.014P compared to Eagle Eye Platinum and Visions PV.018. The first chart shows Visions PV.014P is 155.2% as stiff as Eagle Eye Platinum, and Visions PV.018 is 155.8% as stiff. The second chart shows Visions PV.014P is 99.6% as stiff as Visions PV.018, while Eagle Eye Platinum is 64.2% as stiff as Visions PV.018.

When comparing the stiffness of the Visions PV.014P to that of the Eagle Eye Platinum and the Visions PV.018, the data demonstrated that Visions PV.014P is 55% stiffer than the Eagle Eye Platinum and is statistically equivalent to that of Visions PV.018.
