The Dredger clot retrieval thrombectomy device is an innovative medical device used to remove clots from the brain during an ischemic stroke.Dredger helps to restore blood flow to the affected part of the brain, preventing further damage to brain cells and promoting healing. It can also help improve overall outcomes for stroke patients, reducing the likelihood of long-term disabilities and improving quality of life.
Clot Retrieval Thrombectomy Device
The DredgerTM clot retrieval thrombectomy device is an innovative medical device used to remove clots from the brain during an ischemic stroke. Ischemic strokes account for about 80% of all strokes and occur when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain. This causes brain cells to die, leading to various physical and mental disabilities. DredgerTM helps to restore blood flow to the affected part of the brain, preventing further damage to brain cells and promoting healing. It can also help improve overall outcomes for stroke patients, reducing the likelihood of long-term disabilities and improving quality of life. It involves inserting a long, thin metal stent into the blood vessel and slowly advancing it to the site of the clot in the cerebral vasculature. Once the stent reaches the clot site, the doctor can expand it, thus fixing the clot onto the stent. Then, the doctor can gently remove the stent and clot together, restoring blood flow and reducing stroke damage.
Features & Advantages
1. The retriever has a soft distal tip like a small section of guidewire to protect vascular wall from trauma.
2. Large push wire enhances steerability to ensure distal end responsiveness as the clinician navigates the catheter through vessels.
3. Lowest radial outward force for furthest intimal integrity.
4. Exclusive varied cell design enables it to capture the blood clots efficiently.
5. Unique truck net avoids broken and small blood clots running away.
6. Full-length visibility provides whole visual feedback to assist clinicians during surgery under fluoroscopic.
