Scepter™ Mini

Occlusion Balloon Catheters

Product Benefits

The Scepter™ Mini device is the first micro-balloon catheter designed to occlude blood flow and deliver embolization materials.  

    • Balloon mechanism eliminates the need to create a plug with the liquid embolic agent around the microcatheter tip1 2 3 

    • Selective flow arrest angiography can help understand malformation angioarchitecture4 

    • Proprietary catheter construction with small distal OD and soft balloon facilitates distal navigation2 3 4 5 

    • Scepter Mini design allows for hydrophilic coating on the balloon itself for enhanced trackability3 

    • Data demonstrates that balloon inflation can minimize risk of reflux and catheter entrapment compared with standard microcatheters2 5 6 7 

    • 700 psi max burst pressure for efficient infusion suing liquid embolic procedures3 

    • Self-sealing membrane allows for balloon to stay inflated without steam closing the purge hole3
