Guide Extension Catheter

Uncompromised Flow.
Deep Access.
True Visibility.

A Structural Breakthrough
in Catheter Performance.

By replacing conventional braided and coiled shaft construction with continuous laser-cut architecture, Skeleton Backbone™ gives FlowGuide a fundamentally different structural foundation engineered to optimize lumen integrity, pushability and kink resistance.

Engineered Together
for OTW Compatibility

FlowGuide’s distal shaft is designed for combined OTW microcatheter use in 6F workflows, supporting reliable and efficient guidewire trapping with TrapIT.

7F design is also compatible with TrapIT.
