| Coronary Stents |
|
| Coronary stents are mesh tubes made of metal, and as a device that supports
the blood vessel and improves blood flow when implanted in areas of stenosis,
stents have been confirmed to better counter restenosis than existing balloons.
Goodman received regulatory approval for the Duraflex Coronary Stent in
November of 2003, and sales commenced December of the same year. |
|
| Duraflex Coronary Stent |
|
 The Duraflex stent, manufactured by Avantec, has a low profile and excellent
flexibility and can access lesions with high degrees of tortuousity and
stenosis that were considered difficult until now. Furthermore, the balance
yielded by the unique design of the links and crowns gives the stent construction
superior radial strength and conformability. Clinical tests conducted domestically
demonstrated a low restenosis rate of 12.6%, attracting high attention
in the market. |
|
| PTCA Balloon Catheters |
|
| Catheters with balloons attached to their distal ends are crossed through
coronary artery stenoses and then expanded with the goal of opening up
the artery and improving blood flow. Balloon catheters are much less invasive
than surgical procedures. |
|
| Avantec PTCA Balloon Catheter Prestige Magna |
|
| The balloon section of Avantec's Prestige Magna PTCA balloon catheter uses
a thin, soft material (Optimax™), and the distal tip's exceptionally
flexible and thin tapered 0.017” entry profile increases guidewire compliance,
demonstrating excellent crossability for even severely stenosed or tortuous
lesions. Also, Supraglide Hydrophilic (Zebra/Bikini) coating applied to
the balloon exhibits minimal balloon slipping during inflation and maximal
crossability for advancement. |
|
| Lacrosse PTCA Balloon Catheter |
|
| Goodman's first domestically produced PTCA balloon. The 0.0165 inch profile
yielded from the distal tip's (G-tip) special un-heated manufacturing and
the application of a smooth taper make entry into severely stenosed lesions
easy. Furthermore, the flexible, low-profile balloon, increased-rigidity
spiral construction strong proximal shaft and other innovative technologies
provide exceptional lesion crossability. |

|
Barath PTCA Balloon Catheter
|
|
 The Barath PTCA balloon catheter is a unique balloon catheter with micro-surgical
blades called atherotomes attached to the surface of the balloon. These
blades create incisions in the lesion area at the same time the balloon
is inflated, expanding the stenosed section while curbing vessel stress
to a minimum. The results of REDUCEIII, a trial carried out by Goodman
in Japan, indicated that performing pre-inflation with the cutting balloon
before stenting significantly decreased restenosis rates as compared to
traditional balloons. |
|
| PTCA Guiding Catheters |
|
| PTCA Guiding Catheters are, for coronary artery balloon angioplasty, coronary
artery atherectomy, coronary stent implantation and various intervention
procedures, the catheters which allow devices to reach the target coronary
artery from outside the body. |
|
| Guiding Catheter 2 Roadmaster TH |
|
 The Goodtec manufactured Guiding Catheter: Roadmaster TH features an inner
layer, mesh and outer layer three-layer construction. By employing an inner
layer that minimizes resistance with devices, a special mesh that provides
kink resistance and improves torque and an outer layer with graded stiffness
for shape retention and flexibility, a large lumen 6F (0.070”) or 8F (0.080”)
guiding catheter is guaranteed. |
|
| PTCA Guide Wires |
|
| PTCA Guide Wires are the thin, fine wires used to transport various devices
used in interventions to the target location. As the procedure starts only
after the guide wire has crossed the lesion area, torquability and operability,
tip memory and good lubricity are all necessary. |
|
| TGV Guide Wire Series |
|
 In order to improve upon the important operability in procedural success
and safety, the Intella manufactured Guide Wire TGVII plus had a sleeve
treated with a hydrophilic coating attached to its distal section and a
hydrophobic coating applied to its tip coil to allow for easy entry into
lesion section. Furthermore, the distal tip is easy to shape and offers
excellent crossability. |
|
| PTCA Accessory |
|
| Y Connector Type OKAY II |
|
 Unlike other PTCA Y connector accessories used when treating patients with
ischemic heart disease, Goodtec's Type OKAY II reduces blood loss during
procedures through the use of a haemostatic valve not featured on existing
Y connectors. Its large 3.33mm (10F) inner diameter allows the use of most
PCI devices, and a new feature of being able to lock the one-touch style
haemostatic valve in the open position has been added. |
|
| Aspiration Catheters |
|
| Rebirth Aspiration Catheter |
|
| A kink-resistant construction with advanced operability was created by
using flexible materials in the distal shaft and braided tubing in the
proximal shaft. This technique guarantees a large lumen cross section,
the most important characteristic of an aspiration catheter. Furthermore,
the remarkably smooth lumen form allows quick and efficient aspiration.
The 7F short type can also be used as a support catheter for PTCA devices. |
|
| Micrus MicroCoil System |
|
| Micrus Co. Cerebral Arterial Aneurysm Coil Used in an embolic coiling procedure
as a treatment method for cerebral aneurysms, the special features of the
coil involve:* favorable tensile strength of the coil within the aneurysm*
reduced detachment time at time of placement of the micro-coil compared
to other existing coils* extremely high conformability to the shape of
the aneurysm |
