Fortress ®
Excellent kink and deformation resistance
Coil reinforced sheath
The polymer embedded flat stainless steel coil shaft provides flexibility and excellent kink and deformation resistance.
PTFE liner
The non-ovaling characteristic combined with its friction lowering PTFE liner enables devices to easily pass through tight
anatomical curves. Fortress’s coil reinforced sheath does not oval when curved, maintaining lumen diameter.
Easy Insertion
Smooth tapered sheath and dilator tip
The sheath and dilator have a smooth tapered tip and an atraumatic tip design for ease of insertion.
Hydrophobic coated sheath1
Easy insertion performance1 due to the hydrophobic sheath coating paired with the smooth tapered sheath and dilator tip.
Superb Radiopacity
Radiopaque sheath marker
The platinum allow marker brand provides superb tip radiopacity under fluoroscopic imaging.2
Minimal is optimal
The BIOTRONIK 4F Solutions allows for treating complex lower limb disease while reducing access site complications.
