Ascenda catheter
Ascenda Catheter This next generation catheter is designed to provide: – Greater confidence in a successful implant – Maximum durability facilitating uninterrupted therapy for patients
Ascenda provides greater confidence in a successful implant • Connection to the pump (already in current SC catheters) • Catheter-to-catheter connection (improved with Ascenda) • Anchoring (improved with Ascenda)
Improved Distal to Proximal Catheter Connector Previous Design Ascenda Design Stress Relief • Simple snap together design provides visual and tactile confirmation that the connection is secure • Provides additional stress relief for catheter bodies, previously a source of potential catheter tubing tears/leaks
Two Modes of Catheter Dislodgement
New Lumbar Anchor and Deployment Tool Previous Design Ascenda Design • Two wing, bullet nose design prevents catheter back-out • Deployment tool reduces difficulty and variation during placement and suturing • Design improved through significant Human Factors work
Maximum durability provides confidence that patients receive uninterrupted therapy 3 -Layer composite braided catheter lumen Ascenda Current Catheter (silicone) Key benefits: • Puncture/Tear Resistant • Kink resistant • 6 x stronger than previous catheters • Non-metallic construction is MRI conditionally safe
