The Glutton TM intracranial thrombus extraction catheter is a medical device that is designed to extract thrombi from the intra-cranial vasculature. This catheter is specially designed to extract blood clots from the cerebral artery and prevent their occurrence in the future. The product is a highly efficient and effective device that provides a minimally invasive way of treating clotting disorders and stroke. One of the primary features of this device is that it is designed to reach deep within the intra-cranial vasculature and extract clots that are not easily accessible by other traditional methods. The intracranial thrombus extraction catheter operates by using its exclusive proximal and distal balloons, which are inflated to isolate clots' position and prevent downstream migration of the clot. After isolating the clot, the catheter uses a vacuum-assisted mechanism to extract it from the cerebral artery without causing any damage to the artery's inner lining. This process ensures minimal tissue damage, reduces the chance of re-perfusion injury, and provides a faster response time. GluttonTM is a valuable product that provides an excellent alternative to traditional clot extraction methods. Its unique design, which allows for precision extraction and minimizes tissue damage, sets it apart from other products in the market. As a result, the product has shown tremendous promise in treating acute ischemic stroke and other clotting disorders, providing an efficient, safe, and minimally invasive way of treating these conditions, thus improved patient outcomes.
Features &Advantages
1. The leading ultra-smooth hydrophilic coating on the surface of the tube allows the catheter to glide smoothly through the brain's blood vessels, even in tight spaces. This feature makes it easier for doctors to navigate the catheter to the site of the clot effortlessly.
2. Hybrid structure of coil and braiding combines flexibility and maneuverability.
3. Large internal cavity of 0.072 inches provides ample room for dislodging blood clots from the brain. This feature ensures that the suction and pathway support functions are well-balanced and effective in removing large clots.
4. A multi-stage hardness gradient design at the far end, enhancing the flexibility of the device allows the catheter to navigate easily through the brain's complex network of blood vessels and reach the clot. Additionally, this feature reduces the risk of damage to healthy tissue during clot extraction.
5. The proximal end of the catheter features enhanced polymer composite materials that improve push performance. This enhancement offers doctors better control over the device while navigating through the brain's blood vessels. Additionally, this feature ensures that the catheter remains stable during clot extraction.
6. The Glutton Intracranial Thrombus Extraction Catheter offers BGC balloon guide catheter customization, ensuring compatibility with BGC guide catheter inner diameters. This feature allows doctors to maximize the device's internal cavity while minimizing the risk of damage to healthy brain tissue.
7. Glutton comes in standard and hardened hardness types of 5F-6F. These two options offer doctors flexibility in choosing the right hardness type that suits their specific clinical needs. Both types offer excellent performance in blood clot extraction.
