Recognition, context, and distinction

01

What am I looking at?

Visual recognition

Simple single angled-tip (KMP) catheter, one of the most broadly used shapes in IR.

02

What does it do, and where will I see it?

Use & procedural context

Versatile angled-tip catheter for vessel selection, wire direction, crossing, and exchanges in vascular and nonvascular work. Typical procedural contexts include angiography, drains, GU and biliary access, fistulograms, and venous work.

03

What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?

Key distinctions

The Kumpe combines a simple angled distal geometry with broad versatility for selection, guidewire direction, crossing, and exchange across both vascular and nonvascular workflows.
