| Intravascular Diagnostic Catheters |
 |
| Goodtec (left heart) Angiography Catheter |
|
| Goodtec's Angiography Catheter is used in cardiac catheterization, for
coronary artery, left ventricle or aortic angiography, measurement of left
ventricle or aortic pressure, drawing of blood and/or fluid administration.
To satisfy each of these various purposes, Goodman maintains a large range
of models to meet the demands of physicians. |
|
| Goodtec Thermodilution Catheter |
|
| Goodtec's Thermodilution catheter is designed to quickly and accurately
measure cardiac output with the thermodilution method, and is used in catheter
lab and at the bedside. Additionally, measurements of right atrium pressure,
pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary artery wedge pressure and drawing
of blood from the right atrium and pulmonary can be conducted with this
catheter. |
|
| Goodtec Sheath Introducer |
|
| Goodtec's Sheath Introducer was developed as an insertion device for catheters,
but it is presently used for catheter insertion into the heart, abdomen,
head and other major points. For example, it is used in cardiology for
the multiple catheters employed for angiography, and it is indispensable
device in intervention. |

| Artificial Organs |
|
| Thoratec's Polyurethane Artificial Vessel (for dialysis use) |
|
| Thoratec's Polyurethane Artificial Vessel is used as a dialysis shunt and
received approval from pharmaceutical affairs in May of 1997. Previously,
e-PTFE was the only material employed for dialysis-use in the clinical
setting, and this artificial vessel that uses polyurethane was the first
of its kind approved in this country. Thoratec's product overcomes the
disadvantages of artificial vessels that use e-PTFE, such as the inability
to perform dialysis soon after the operation and poor stypticity to become
an artificial vein graft better suited for dialysis. Due to increases in
aging dialysis patients and those with diabetic nephropathy, the need for
vein grafts is growing more and more. With these circumstances in mind,
it is anticipated that this vein graft will improve the quality of life
for dialysis patients. |
