The Medtronic Launcher 8Fr EBU45 Coronary Guiding Catheter (REF LA8EBU45) is a single-use interventional catheter designed to deliver predictable backup support and reliable access to the left coronary artery. The Launcher family is engineered around a stainless steel braided shaft with a soft, atraumatic tip to balance pushability, torque transmission, and vessel-friendly behavior during complex coronary work.

Key Features
Eight French (8Fr) outer profile compatible with large-bore interventional device delivery.
EBU 4.5 (Extra Back-Up) curve geometry shaped for stable seating in the left main with strong aortic wall support.
Stainless steel braided shaft construction for 1:1 torque response and consistent shape retention.
Soft, tapered atraumatic distal tip designed to reduce ostial trauma during engagement.
Smooth inner lumen intended to facilitate device delivery and contrast injection.
Sterile, single-patient-use configuration.

Clinical Applications
Diagnostic and interventional access to the left coronary artery system.
Procedures requiring enhanced passive backup support, including bifurcation, calcified, or tortuous lesion interventions.
Delivery of interventional devices such as balloons, stents, and adjunctive coronary tools where 8Fr inner lumen capacity is required.
Cases where the operator selects an EBU-style curve over Judkins Left geometry for improved guide stability.
