SOS Omni® Selective Catheter

The SOS Omni selective catheter is the first of its kind, featuring a soft, atraumatic, Super-radiopaque tip designed to reform the thoracic aorta. This versatile visceral catheter is just the right catheter for just the right results, reforming in the descending thoracic aorta – below the great vessels rather than the transverse arch – for increased safety and reduced risk.

The catheter should be pulled from the descending aorta into the abdominal aorta with a floppy Bentson-type guidewire “leading,” sometimes with a rotating motion. Its unique shape allows it to select vessels more quickly than other selective catheters. The soft, flexible atraumatic tip can be placed deeper into the artery (1 cm or more), reducing the chance of “catheter kickout.” The shaped tip allows the guidewire to flick into the origin of the renal artery, thereby easing the way for proper seating of the catheter and for crossing renal artery stenoses. The use of this technique will enable the operator to access the renal artery using minimal, if any, contrast up.
