| Product | Custom Procedural Trays: Merit's Custom Angio Kits
A custom procedural tray is a combination of legally marketed medical devices placed into one container for the convenience of the user and used within the limits of the product's intended uses. Contained within the tray are hand controller sheaths which are intended to enable increased flow control (when compared to hand injection) but with the feel of a hand syringe. It provides more control over the total volume delivered by allowing the physician to adjust contrast delivery during the injection and monitor total volume delivered to the patient. |
