Embolx president and CEO Michael Allen said: “Soldier is a superior microcatheter by all measures of performance.

“Using our proprietary and patented technology we are expanding our best-in-class catheter products for use in the peripheral vasculature and neurovasculature.”

The company stated that the addition of the Soldier product line will expand its product’s use for all kinds of immunotherapy, embolisation and drug delivery procedures.

At present, Soldier is available in Europe. Its arrival in the US market is anticipated to set a new standard for high flow microcatheters and micro-microcatheters.

Embolx develops microcatheters for arterial embolisation procedures.

In 2018, the company received 510(k) clearance from the US FDA for its pressure-directed arterial embolisation system under the new Sniper Balloon Occlusion Microcatheters range.
