The Dredger Stent Retrieval is made up of a mesh-like stent that is surrounded by a thin wire. The device is inserted into an artery in the groin and carefully guided through the body to the site of the clot in the brain. Once the stent is in place, it is deployed and expands, pushing the clot against the walls of the artery and allowing blood to flow freely again.

The DredgerTM Stent Retrieval is a tiny mesh tube that grab and extract blood clots in blocked arteries. These devices are used in conjunction with a highly flexible, thin aspiration catheter, that’s threaded into the femoral artery in your groin and up into the arteries in your brain. Once near the blood clot, the stent retriever springs open and enmeshes itself in the blood clot. As the catheter’s aspiration begins, the stent retriever is retracted and the clot is pulled out. The atraumatic soft tip is a significant feature of stent retrieval. This feature ensures that the stent can be smoothly inserted and retrieved without damaging the surrounding tissues. The soft tip is specially designed to minimize trauma to the vessels and surrounding structures and maintain the integrity of the tissues. This safety feature is particularly important for delicate procedures like an endovascular aneurysm repair or removing clots from the brain. Another remarkable feature of stent retrieval products is the distinctive tuck net. The tuck net is designed to securely capture the stent without letting go of it during the retrieval process. The tuck net ensures the stent is well-contained, preventing it from migrating to other distant parts of the body. The last feature that distinguishes some stent retrieval products from others is the larger push wire. The push wire is a key component of the stent retrieval process and plays a crucial role in ensuring the proper deployment of the stent.
