The Glutton Aspiration Catheters for stroke is a medical device used in neurosurgery for removing blood clots from intracranial blood vessels. The catheter is inserted into the affected blood vessel through an incision in the skin. This procedure is known as aspiration thrombectomy, and it is a minimally invasive technique.

GluttonTM Aspiration Catheters for stroke has a flexible shaft that enables it to navigate through the twisty and narrow blood vessels of the brain. It has a distal tip that can be selectively navigated into the affected blood vessel with the help of a microcatheter. The distal tip of the catheter is soft and rounded, which helps to prevent damage to the blood vessels during the procedure. It is indicated for patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the intracranial arteries, such as the middle cerebral artery (MCA), internal carotid artery (ICA), and basilar artery (BA). The ideal candidate for aspiration thrombectomy is a patient who presents within 6 hours of symptom onset, has a large clot burden, and has not responded to intravenous thrombolysis treatment. Patients with contraindications for thrombolysis, such as recent surgery or bleeding disorders, may benefit from aspiration catheter as the primary treatment option.
