Description
Overview
The AC3 Range™ Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) from
Teleflex is an advanced mechanical circulatory support system
designed to provide temporary cardiac assistance in patients with compromised
heart function. Leveraging the award-winning design and patented technology of
the AC3 Optimus™ IABP, the AC3 Range™ delivers reliable hemodynamic support in a
compact, fully contained, and transport-ready platform. It enhances coronary
perfusion and reduces cardiac workload, supporting improved clinical outcomes
in critical cardiac care settings.
