The SmartPort+ has a Vortex design port reservoir with the VORTEXTM technology. This technology allows fluid to reach all surfaces in the chamber, helping eliminate dead spaces, resist sludge build-up, and reduce occlusions.
The SmartPort+ utilise BioFlo catheters with ENDEXO™ technoology. ENDEXO™ is a polymer that, when fully incorporated into the catheter base resin material (Carbothane), passively reduces the accumulation of thrombus.
The SmartPort+ device has standard, low profile, and mini Titanium port configurations. The ports are offered with a 5F, 6F or 8F single lumen BioFlo catheter. The catheters are rated for use with common commercially available power injectors up to settings of 300 psi.
The advantages of the use of power injection as opposed to manual injection have been reported in numerous imaging studies. The catheters are provided with a shaft length of 63 cm for 6F and 8F and 45 cm for 5F (trimmable by the user to accommodate clinical need) and are compatible with a 0.038” J-tip guidewire for over the wire delivery method. The catheters are marked in 1-cm incremental markings throughout the length with numeric markings every 5 cm. The catheters are provided pre-attached or unattached.
