Medtronic today announced an early site limited release of its recently acquired Rist radial access guide catheters.

The Rist 079 catheter is designed for the introduction of interventional devices into the peripheral, coronary and neuro vasculature using the radial artery in the wrist. The Rist Radial Access Selective Catheter is designed to introduce interventional devices into the peripheral, coronary and neuro vasculature and can facilitate the introduction of diagnostic agents in the neuro vasculature.

“Rist 079 Radial Access Guide catheter is the first catheter that has been specifically designed for neurointerventions using the radial artery pathway in the wrist. This is the first-of-its-kind device that optimizes transition zones for the required navigability and support that is unique to the radial trajectory when compared to the femoral approach,” Webster Crowley, chief of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery at Rush University Me…
