The Pipit SC, developed by Sahajanand Medical Technologies (SMT), is a semi-compliant balloon catheter designed for coronary interventions. Its multi-layered polyamide balloon offers durability, shape memory, and a low 1.84 mm rewrap profile. With a hydrophilic coating for smooth crossability, high push efficiency (1.0 N), and minimal track force, it ensures precise dilatation in complex lesions. Compatible with 5F and 6F guide catheters, it supports balloon sizes up to 4.5 mm.
The Pipit SC, a semi-compliant PTCA balloon catheter from SMT, combines a multi-layered polyamide balloon with superior shape memory, enabling a refined tri-fold rewrap with a low profile of 1.84 mm for easy retrieval. It features a selective hydrophilic coating on the distal shaft and balloon tip to enhance lubricity, reducing friction and optimizing crossability through calcified, tortuous coronary segments. With the lowest peak track force and push efficiency of 1.0 N, the Pipit SC ensures smooth lesion access and precise dilatation. Bench tests demonstrate effective prevention of “melon seeding,” aiding controlled balloon deployment. Its technical specs include balloon diameters from 2.0–4.5 mm, lengths from 9–30 mm, tip profile of 0.016″ (0.41 mm), compatibility with 0.014″ guidewires, and support for Kissing Balloon Technique (6F) up to 3.5 mm.
