EMBOLECTOMY CATHETER

Recommendation of a professional on the use of the technology.

The Embolectomy Catheter is indicated for the removal of soft emboli and thrombi, of recent formation in the arterio-venous vascular system.

The Embolectomy Catheter has been designed for intravascular use and in the pathological conditions mentioned in its indications; for this reason:

– its use is not recommended in case of vascular obstruction produced by materials adherent or calcified (organized clots and atheroma plaques).

– should not be used in endarterectomy, thrombectomy or dilation procedures vascular.

There are a significant number of extravascular procedures in which the use of the Embolectomy Catheter is used, among which we mention:

– dilation of canalicular structures;

– removal of foreign bodies in the bile duct, digestive, respiratory and urological systems;

– neurological and urological surgical procedures;

– bronchial block anesthesiologic procedures;

– nerve blocks (Gasser’s ganglion);

– dilation of tendon sheaths.

In all these procedures, a correct performance of the article cannot be guaranteed, since its design and materials do not allow the development of sufficient radial and drag forces.

The Embolectomy Catheter is presented sterile, individually packaged; its sterility is guaranteed only as long as the packaging remains intact.

It is for individual use and you should not re-sterilize or reuse any of its components.

Possible consequences of its re-sterilization:

– deterioration of the balloon;

– reduction of the catheter lumen;

– loss of flexibility of the material;

– malfunction between its components;

– product damage due to cleaning.
