Introduction to IR Tools

Knowledge of the tools at one's disposal is crucial to operating as an interventional radiologist. Resources aiming to distill the complex and evolving array of tools into comprehensible basics are not widely available for the student, resident, or fellow. Given the growing interest in IR, this video aims to introduce the viewer to the nomenclature, measurement systems, and use cases of the fundamental IR staples: needles, wires, and catheters.

Wow, thanks so much. I've been an X-ray tech for 10 years and just started training in the interventional suite. I felt a little overwhelmed with all the equipment. This is exactly what I needed.

Quite in-depth and spot-on for a medical student. Well done.

[@Jackkman1]

@@nickfontana1344 I'm hoping to get an IR position soon. Any tips/videos you suggest I watch?

[@nickfontana1344]

@@Jackkman1 be familiar with the seldinger technique, wire diameters, catheter diameters, sheath diameters, & how to properly drape a patient and set up a sterile procedure. So essentially the basics. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@lucmongeon5175]

very clear and informative

[@ivankaramazov8511]

Amazing presentation ♨

[@gracestaton6703]

This is the modified Seldinger technique because the original seldinger punctured through the vessel on both sides (double-wall puncture)

[@melissarainchild]

Thank you, very instructive. Still dont understand EVERYTHING...but, I'm working my way to that :)

[@alexc2259]

Really nice presentation. Thank you! Btw, can you tell me what program do you use to make this vid?

[@drmasoodchaudhary]

good video, Can you please tell me which app you using or site ? the (logo)watermark is hidden top right side.

Teleflex is one, or maybe the only, company that really focusses on complex PCI and Chronic obstructions. Get them in to train your team. They were in my hospital and they know a lot, also when to use other material. Not many companies know the "toolbox" that well.

[@Christina-pq7kn]

Thank you

[@ramaymd]

Thanks brother

[@gihan84]

What is dissection? Is that when a catheter or wire goes through a vessel wall of an artery or vein?

[@user-fy7vi3wy8h]
