The Tiger Angiographic Catheter (often referred to as Tiger II Catheter) is specifically designed for diagnostic coronary angiography performed through the radial artery. Unlike conventional diagnostic catheters such as Judkins Left (JL) and Judkins Right (JR), the Tiger catheter allows selective cannulation of both the left coronary artery (LCA) and the right coronary artery (RCA) with a single device.
This innovative design reduces the need for multiple catheter exchanges, saving time, reducing contrast volume, and improving overall procedural efficiency. Its torque control, hydrophilic coating, and flexible shaft provide superior trackability, making it highly effective in complex anatomies.
Why It Is Used:
To perform coronary angiography via the radial artery
Reduces procedure time by avoiding multiple catheter use
Minimizes contrast medium usage and radiation exposure
Improves patient comfort with fewer catheter exchanges
Widely used in transradial diagnostic procedures in interventional cardiology
Where It Is Used:
Cardiac Catheterization Labs (Cath Labs)
Interventional Cardiology Units
During diagnostic coronary angiography via radial access
Available Sizes:
French Sizes (F): 4F, 5F, 6F
Lengths: 100 cm (standard), 110 cm, 125 cm
Curve: Special Tiger Curve for engaging both LCA and RCA
