"reversed secondary curve also known as the knee: this curve allows catheter advancement by pulling rather than pushing, leading to easier and faster catheter placement"
"Sim 2: larger curve compared to Sim 1 and is used for procedures that require access to larger and longer blood vessels"
"Sim 3: larger than Sim 2"
"Sim 4: has a different shape than the other simmmons"
"The Simmons catheter, also known as Sidewinder 1, Sim, or SS catheter, is a common reverse-curve angiographic selective access catheter designed for catheterisation and subselection of brachiocephalic or visceral arteries, in order to secure access, advance, and exchange devices, or deliver contrast in the target vessel. It was first designed to approach tortuous and elongated aortic arch vessels 2."
