The Medtronic Launcher 8Fr JCR45 Coronary Guiding Catheter (REF LA8JCR45) is a single-use guiding catheter designed to deliver intracoronary devices to the coronary arteries. Built on the Launcher platform, it combines a stainless steel braid with a soft, atraumatic tip to provide a balance of pushability, torque transmission, and vessel-friendly performance. The 8Fr profile offers a generous internal lumen to support contrast delivery and the simultaneous use of multiple interventional devices.

Key Features
Three-layer construction with stainless steel braid for 1:1 torque response.
Large inner lumen relative to outer diameter to accommodate complex device combinations.
Soft, atraumatic distal tip designed to reduce the risk of ostial trauma.
Pre-shaped JCR45 (Judkins Right 4.5) curve for engagement of the right coronary ostium.
Hydrophilic-friendly inner surface to support smooth device tracking.
Single-use, sterile, packaged ready for cath lab use.

Clinical Applications
Selective cannulation of the right coronary artery during diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Delivery of balloons, stents, and adjunctive interventional devices.
Procedures requiring enhanced backup support and a larger working lumen, such as bifurcation, complex PCI, or simultaneous device use.
Use as part of standard transfemoral or other suitable vascular access approaches per institutional protocol.
