Vascular Solutions has launched its GuideLiner catheter to provide better guided admittance to distinct regions of the coronary and peripheral vasculature during the intubation period for coronary interventions.

The Minneapolis-based company said the product features a coaxial guide extension to support standard devices, guidewires, balloons and stents with a straight tip to direct equipment to the targeted lesion.

In addition, the company said the GuideLiner is compatible with standard guide catheters and available in three sizes: 6-, 7- and 8-French guides.
