The DredgerTM Endovascular Clot Removal Devices is increasingly performed in patients presenting with emergent large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the anterior circulation, especially those experiencing a large acute ischemic stroke.
The DredgerTM endovascular clot removal device features an atraumatic soft distal tip and distinctive truck net to capture clots with minimal trauma. Endovascular clot removal devices work by removing blood clots in the blood vessels that supply the brain with oxygen and nutrients. The procedure is minimally invasive and is performed by a trained team of neurologists and interventional radiologists. The patient is placed under local anesthesia, and a catheter is threaded through a small incision in the groin area and directed into the blocked artery in the brain. Once the catheter reaches the clot, the device is deployed, and the clot is removed.
The benefits of endovascular clot removal devices are numerous. Firstly, the procedure can be done within a few hours of the onset of stroke symptoms, which is crucial in minimizing damage to the brain. Secondly, it is a safer and less invasive option compared to open surgery, which carries a higher risk of complications. Thirdly, endovascular clot removal devices have a high success rate, with many patients experiencing significant improvements in their symptoms shortly after the procedure.
Features & Advantages
1. The soft atraumatic distal tip prevent blood vessel wall from trauma.
2. Large push wire enhances steerability to ensure distal end responsiveness as the clinician navigates the catheter through vessels.
3. Comprehensive sizes meet a variety of different needs.
4. Exclusive varied cell design enables it to efficiently capture the blood clots.
5. Lowest radial outward force, furthest intimal integrity.
6. Unique truck net avoids broken and small blood cots running away.
7. It is fully visible providing real-time visual feedback to assist clinicians during surgery.
