The Glutton Clot Aspiration Catheter is a medical device that is used to remove blood clots or thrombi from the arteries or veins of the body. It is a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into an artery or vein and advanced to the site of the clot. The tip of the catheter is designed to create a vacuum, which allows the catheter to suction the clot out of the vessel.
The GluttonTM Clot Aspiration Catheter is commonly used during procedures to treat acute ischemic strokes or heart attacks. These conditions occur when blood flow to the brain or heart is blocked by a clot, leading to tissue damage or death. By removing the clot quickly and effectively, clot aspiration catheters can help restore blood flow and prevent further damage. One of the key attributes of the clot aspiration catheter is its hybrid struccture of coil and braiding achieves an outstanding balance of stiffness and flexibility. This unique construction allows the device to navigate through tight blood vessels, providing definite clot removal with minimal disruption to the vessel. In addition to the struccture of coil and braiding, GluttonTM incorporates a hydrophilic coating that helps reduce friction and potentially hastens the clot removal process. Hydrophilic coatings are well known for the exceptional performance of the device, and this special coating applied to the clot aspiration catheter assists in easy navigation during the interventional procedure. Similarly, the extra-large lumen further allows for more significant clot load capacity and functional performance, thereby reducing the need for additional interventional procedures. Another critical feature of the clot aspiration catheter is its proximal polymer that provides optimal pushability. The proximal polymer is designed to provide enhanced support during catheter placement, safeguarding against any potential breaks or bends in the catheter. The use of near-end polymer delivery provides both mechanical strength and flexibility, improving the comfort and reliability during the procedure.
Features & Advantages
1. Structure of coil and braid is designed to be flexible, allowing for maneuverability within the blood vessels while minimizing the risk of damage.
2. 0.072 inch larger lumen is large enough to accommodate the aspiration of clots and other materials from the blood vessels.
3. Distal multi-segment design allows for ease of navigation within the blood vessels.
4. Proximal composite polymer enhances support and torque ability at the proximal.
5. Multiple French sizes are available in a range of French sizes to accommodate various vessel sizes and clinical applications.
6. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the outer surface of the aspiration catheter to reduce friction and facilitate smooth insertion and navigation.
7. A radiopaque marker is included on the catheter to help guide placement and ensure accurate positioning within the blood vessel.
