needle + xxxxx + Hemostasis-Y Large Bore

It seems you have a mixture of castellano and catalan "agulla" is "needle" and in PCTA kit it is blunt, "clau"may be short for claudication or haemostasis
I am not sure about "rotor" but the kit does contain a torque device, a catheter line, syringes, a three-way valve, etc
