Y-CLICK - Elcam Medical

Y-CLICK
Y Connector for PTCA Application
Introduction
Elcam’s new Y-Click connector provides an easy-to-use hemostatic
device for both diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Mechanism
Open position
2 clicks in
The Y-Click consists of two channels; a straight
primary channel which contains the silicone
rubber sealing gasket that opens to accept
the catheter or guide wire, and an angled
secondary channel that attaches to a manifold
for pressure monitoring, contrast injection
and flushing or to automatic contrast media
injectors. The Y-Click prevents back-bleeding
while the balloon catheter / guide wire is inserted
into the guiding catheter, and provides easy manipulation
during placement while securing catheter’s position.
Revolutionary New Design
The ergonomically designed Y-Click significantly reduces the blood loss during
interventional procedures using a three stage valve: open, semi-open and closed positions.
With the easy-to-use lever you can use Y-Click in the following positions:
• Open: For insertion of guide wire / catheter
• Semi-open: Allows for maneuverability with minimal friction while preventing back bleeding
• Closed: Seals around the catheter or wire prevents blood loss still allowing maneuverability of guide
wires and small diameter catheters

Unique Advantages
Self closing mechanism
During injection of contrast media, if the device is in semi-open
position, its mechanism will shut itself before leakage occurs
through the proximal side. The device, then, will move to
‘closed’ position.
Insertion of catheters

One-Handed Operation
Compared to current devices on the market which
use either a Tuohy-Borst valve or simple open/close
mechanism, Elcam’s Y-Click allows the operator total
control over the manipulation of catheters and wires
without concern of bleedback.
The Y-Click utilizes a one hand operation both for opening
the device by pushing the valve or closing the device by
pressing on the lever with one’s thumb.
