Rocket® EchoCath™ Embryo Transfer Catheter Sets

• NEW INNER CATHETER DESIGN combined with an ultra smooth tip profile reduces the risk of junctional zone contraction¹

• HIGH REFLECTION echo band to provide immediate identification of catheter tip position.

• LOW PROFILE: The EchoCath™ echo band is only 2mm wide to maximise view during loading but still provide excellent echogenic properties

• SECURE: The echo band is applied using proprietary techniques developed for angiography catheters. The echo band is attached without the use of adhesives to produce a smooth, trauma free finish whilst maintaining inner lumen integrity with minimal distortion.

• REMOVABLE SUPPORT. The removable support tube is designed to make insertion of the loaded inner catheter into the sheath as secure as possible. Users can readily remove the inner support to retain the original feel of the Genesis™ catheter.

• TRIAL TRANSFER CATHETER available in both 18cm & 23cm lengths for reliable, cost effective embryo positioning.

• NEW OUTER SHEATH with reduced distal outer diameter, minimises cervical trauma. A new material, developed from established polymers retains high memory characteristics despite its small diameter; ideal for those patients where cervical access is difficult.

• PATENTED FINGER GRIP gives unequalled grip and control whilst ensuring accurate placing of the catheter tip into the uterine cavity.

• MALLEABLE STYLET is also available separately for when access to the uterine cavity is obstructed or difficult.

• TOXICITY TESTING. Rigorous quality controls ensure that all sensitivematerials² are subject to independent single cell mouse embryo to blastocyst assay (acceptance level:>80%). Batch tested to ensure the highest level of product safety.

• STERILE - Packed in peel pouches,10 per carton, intended for single patient use.
