SOLOPATH Balloon Expandable TransFemoral System, Model Numbers STFI-1425, STFI-1435, STFI-1625, STFI-1635, STFI-1825, STFI-1835, STFI-1925, STFI-1935, STFI-2125, STFI-2135 Product Usage: The SoloPath Balloon Expandable TransFemoral Introducer System (STFI) and the SoloPath Re-Collapsible Access System are sterile, single use devices designed for low profile, large bore vessel access. Both SoloPath products are inserted percutaneously into the femoral artery, over a guidewire, and once expanded, provide a guide for catheters and/or devices introduced into the femoral/iliac arteries. The devices are designed such that surface friction is reduced during insertion while minimizing access trauma and vessel trauma throughout the procedure.
There is a potential for dislodgement of the tip from the outer diameter of the sheath resulting in a loss of the smooth transition from the surface of the tip to the outer surface of the expandable sheath.
