In 1929 Werner Forssmann demonstrated that a simple Rubber catheter could be passed to the pulmonary artery through the antecubital Vein and An angiographic film could be obtained using radiographic contrast.

“Was the key in the lock” – Andre Cournand & Dickinson Richards said in their Nobel lecture in 1956.
Certainly this key has unlocked the door to expanded diagnostic capabilities & therapeutic interventions.

Ideal characteristics of catheters
Better Torque Control
Strength
Radio-opacity
Flexible
Atraumatic Tip
Low Surface frictional resistance for good trackability over guide wire.

FRENCH CATHETER SCALE:
The French catheter scale is commonly used to measure the outer diameter of cylindrical medical instruments including catheters, needles etc.
D(mm) = Fr/3 or Fr = D(mm)*3
MEASUREMENT:
Most commonly in adult Diagnostic Catheters of 5 – 7 Fr is used.

Thick walled- Accentuates pressure waveform-systolic overshoot & diastolic dips.
Thin walled _ Improves monitoring, blood sampling & flushing abilities, decrease thrombogenicity.
Disadvantage – less torque control, not suitable high pressure injection.
SIZE – wall thickness

What is a Catheter made up of ?Materials:
A range of polymers are used for the construction of catheters, including silicone rubber latex and thermoplastic elastomers. Silicone is one of the most common choices because it is inert and unreactive to body fluids and a range of medical fluids with which it might come into contact.Materials:CATHETER:Polyvinylchloride (PVC)Polyethylene (PE)Fluoropolymers (PTFE) (TEFLON)Polyurethane (PUR)Silicone (SI)
![Page 10: Cardiac catheters. 2 In 1929 Werner Forssmann demonstrated that a simple Rubber catheter could be passed to the pulmonary artery through the antecubital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cb75503460f9497c3cb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Very maneuverable & flexible. Covered by polyurethane coating –
reduce vascular trauma. Nylon core-increase bursting
pressure Nylon – great mechanical & physical
strength, reduced friction coefficient. Eg- USCI Cournand, birds eye,
eppendorf & sones.
DACRON
![Page 11: Cardiac catheters. 2 In 1929 Werner Forssmann demonstrated that a simple Rubber catheter could be passed to the pulmonary artery through the antecubital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cb75503460f9497c3cb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Stiffness inbetween polyurethane & Teflon.
Selective injection. More thrombogenic than PVC,
polyurethane, silicone catheters. Stainless steel mesh braid improves
rotational control & increase bursting pressure.
Eg – pigtail angiographic catheters (cook), judkins catheters, NIH & cournand.
POLYETHYLENE
![Page 12: Cardiac catheters. 2 In 1929 Werner Forssmann demonstrated that a simple Rubber catheter could be passed to the pulmonary artery through the antecubital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cb75503460f9497c3cb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Excellent memory – Superselective injection.
Softer than polyethylene or Teflon. Increased thrombogenicity Reshaped if immersed in boling
water. Eg – pigtail angiographic (cordis)
catheters & original judkins catheters.
POLYURETHANE
![Page 13: Cardiac catheters. 2 In 1929 Werner Forssmann demonstrated that a simple Rubber catheter could be passed to the pulmonary artery through the antecubital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cb75503460f9497c3cb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Stiffest. Poor memory. Low friction coefficient. Eg – Brockenbrough catheters,
transducer-tip catheters & introducer sheaths.
TEFLON
![Page 14: Cardiac catheters. 2 In 1929 Werner Forssmann demonstrated that a simple Rubber catheter could be passed to the pulmonary artery through the antecubital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cb75503460f9497c3cb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Softest & flexible. High friction coefficient- venous spasm. Increased thrombogenicity. Very poor tensile strength ( memory) Cant be reformed. Most hydrophilic. Drugs absorbed- NTG, insulin,
diazepam,thiopentone. Eg- Balloon-tip flow directed catheters.
POLYVINYL CHLORIDE
![Page 15: Cardiac catheters. 2 In 1929 Werner Forssmann demonstrated that a simple Rubber catheter could be passed to the pulmonary artery through the antecubital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cb75503460f9497c3cb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

TIP: Neither blunt nor too sharp, soft & flexible.
Bullet nose tip- least trauma, Though too taper increased tip penetration.
HUB: Metal or plastic, larger than catheter, tapered hubs – easier insertion of guidewire.

First available standard guidewire -0.018’ contains 2 to 3cm,safety wire in the tip
Safetywire is replaced by a ribbon steerability,trackability,torquability,kink
resistence, frictional resistance. Standard length- 175 to 190cm- usually
20cm longer than the catheter. For exchange wire-300cm. Thickness – 0.035 inch (0.9mm).

CORE
single or multiple segment. Provides tensile strength, torque strength,
torque transmission & blood compatibility. Commonly composed of stainless steel. Nitinol – increased tractability. Disadvantage- tends to store
rather than transmit torque- wire WINDING UP.
Commonly used “workhorse wire” have moderate flexibility & support.

Distal tip
Platinum or tungsten alloy. Radiopacity ,flexibilty & blood
compatibility. Radiopacity -2 to 3cm. Rarely 11 to
40cm. High radiopacity is a feature of more
aggressive wire, Tip load- Amount of force required
to deflect the tip into a predetermined configuration. Exp-gms of force.
