PLATO® 17
Microcatheter
Introducing Plato® 17, a breakthrough approach to neurovascular care that provides the softness and stability ideal for the smooth delivery of embolic coils, stents, PVA, DMSO, and Onyx. Experience the cutting-edge technology of one of the first neuro-indicated, microfabricated microcatheters on the market.
Microfabrication in microcatheters
Experience the pinnacle of precision with Plato® 17’s microfabrication, tailored meticulously to navigate neuroanatomy. Boasting thousands of transition zones, Plato® 17 ensures a seamless flexibility gradient: a continuously transitioning flexibility profile designed to prevent prolapse out of a selected vessel. Its distinctive design – an intricate pattern of rings and beams on the nitinol tube – results in direct push translation from end to tip, achieving a near one-to-one push response. This not only wards off kinking but also helps preserve the lumen's integrity even in challenging vasculature. In stark contrast, conventional braid and coil devices tend to accumulate energy, causing instability and unpredictability.
The power of partnership: Plato® 17 and Aristotle® 14.
Meticulously microfabricated, Plato® 17 and the Aristotle® 14 guidewire are a match made in medical innovation. Enjoy enhanced vessel navigation as the complementary designs of both products amplify each other's strengths. When teamed, the distinct benefits of microfabricated devices shine even brighter, thanks to their harmonious design.
Discover the next generation of Scientia technology
Dive into the capabilities of Plato® 17, empowered by Scientia’s progressive microfabrication technology. Designed for complex anatomy, Plato® 17 masters the intricate balance of dexterity and strength, providing careful treatment delivery to the disease site.
Optimal push & stability
Plato® 17 incorporates uniquely microfabricated beams for transmitting pure push force, sidestepping material compression or energy storage. Result? A reliable catheter placement as you administer treatment.
Seamless navigation
With over 10,000 distinct features spanning its length, Plato® 17 offers a smooth tracking experience. Say goodbye to the jarring inconsistencies of segmented braid and coil designs.
The perfect blend of softness & support
Plato® 17 strikes an optimal chord. Marrying the gentleness of its coil tip with the sturdiness of a microfabricated nitinol body, it’s designed for unified, soft, and stable navigation every step of the therapeutic journey.

The Plato® 17 Microcatheter is intended for the introduction of therapeutic devices, infusion of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and delivery of embolization materials to the peripheral and neuro vasculature systems. The Plato® 17 Microcatheter is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
None known.
- The Plato® 17 Microcatheter should be manipulated under fluoroscopy. Do not attempt to move the micro catheter without observing the resulting tip response. Movement of the microcatheter against resistance may result in damage to the microcatheter or injury to the patient.
Diagnostic agents, therapeutic devices, and embolization materials should be used in accordance with information provided by their respective manufacturer and labeling.
Never advance or withdraw any device within the catheter against resistance until the cause of the resistance is determined.
Exchange microcatheters frequently during lengthy procedures that require extensive guidewire manipulation or multiple guidewire exchanges.
The Plato® 17 Microcatheter was evaluated for the delivery of embolization materials, such as embolic coils, embolic particles, and liquid embolic agents, including Onyx. The use of these catheters for delivery of other embolization materials has not been evaluated.
The Plato® 17 Microcatheter has not been evaluated for compatibility with embolization materials containing n-BCA, such as Trufill. Use of these devices with the Plato® 17 Microcatheter could result in device damage that may lead to catheter failure and patient injury.
The Plato® 17 Microcatheter was evaluated for the delivery of therapeutic devices, such as stents.
The Plato® 17 Microcatheter is not compatible with stent retrievers. Use of these devices with the Plato® 17 Microcatheter could result in device damage that may lead to catheter failure and to enhance embolic risks.
The Plato® 17 Microcatheter was evaluated for compatibility with agents that include contrast media, saline, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethanol, and ethiodized oil (e.g. lipiodol). The use of these catheters for delivery of solutions other than the types that have been tested for compatibility has not been evaluated.
