GuideLiner V3 Catheter

Guide extension catheter with half-pipe technology

In 2009, the GuideLiner Catheter revolutionised the concept of guide extension, creating new possibilities in interventional cardiology. Now in its third generation, the GuideLiner V3 Catheter continues to build on a history of innovation and performance—one that's been demonstrated with more than half a million catheters in cath labs around the world.¹

Designed to perform

It's not just the proprietary half-pipe technology that sets the GuideLiner V3 Catheter apart. The coil-reinforced extension is specifically designed to enable dependable deep-seating for the delivery of interventional devices to distal locations.

Half-pipe technology

The half‑pipe channel is designed to minimise device/collar interaction by directing and aligning devices through the collar transition, facilitating smooth device entry and seamless delivery.

Tortuosity tested

From challenging lesions to impossibly acute angles, percutaneous coronary interventions have grown more complex. Since being introduced, GuideLiner Catheters have been recognised by interventionalists as essential tools for addressing difficult anatomies.

Available in five sizes: 5, 5.5, 6, 7 and 8 Fr.

This is about the engineering solutions presented by the GuideLiner V3 Catheter….

GuideLiner Tips and Tricks

Tips and tricks to eliminate common handling errors during preparation and deployment of GuideLiner V3 and TrapLiner

We suggest best practice is to always use a balloon when you deliver a Guide Extension Catheter to “Rail” and centre the device away from the vessel wall and potential vessel damage. There are several techniques to delivering a Guide Extension Catheter, these are the ones we would recommend.

GuideLiner V3 Catheter Insertion

The following video demonstratesthe GuideLiner V3 Catheter simulated deployment Procedure.

Wire Wrap

There’s potential for interaction between a guidewire and the GuideLiner V3 push rod. A simple technique using a small towel will greatly reduce the potential for wrapping syndrome to occur.

Delivering GuideLiner V3

Using these techniques reduces the need to push harder or have a slippier coating. If done correctly, they will facilitate predictable and safe delivery of the GuideLiner V3.

We suggest best practice is to always use a balloon when you deliver a Guide Extension Catheter to “Rail” and centre the device away from the vessel wall and any potential vessel damage. There are several techniques to delivering a Guide Extension Catheter, these are the ones we would recommend.

Inch worm Technique

Technique involves positioning small balloon at distal tip of the GuideLiner V3 during delivery.

Anchor Technique

Technique involves inflating balloon in target lesion to assist in GuideLiner V3 advancement. Balloon acts as an anchor that is used to pull GuideLiner V3 down the vessel, you will need 2 people.

Balloon assisted tracking (BAT)

We suggest good practice is to use a balloon or other device when you deliver a Guide Extension Catheter to “rail” and centre the device away from the vessel wall and any potential vessel damage.

Technique involves positioning small balloon at distal tip of the GuideLiner V3 during delivery.
