Unique Seal Technology

  • Provides a cleaner procedural field protecting physicians, staff and patients by reducing the amount of blood in the field.
  • Allows separation of guidewires and other devices during complex procedures.

Click-open and Click-close Design

  • Allows single handed operation
  • Unique proximal cap is easily depressed for both opening and closing the lumen.
  • Distinctive wide “bulls eye” opening in the proximal cap allows for easy insertion of devices along with the ability to separate multiple guidewires and other devices during complex cases.

Ergonomic Design

  • Practical design allows the Guardian to fit comfortably in a physician’s hand.
  • Subtle finger tabs have been added for improved handling characteristics.

8 French Lumen

  • Ensures safety for therapeutic devices by preventing contact with seals.
  • Allows multiple or large therapeutic devices to be inserted during procedures.

Secure Device Lock

  • Rotating lock nut has been designed to provide an additional mechanism for securing device position. Lock-nut functions similarly to a tuohy borst™ style valve.
