Zoom reperfusion catheters feature the TRX tip to navigate complex anatomy and allow smooth tracking of blood clots in the brain’s tortuous vasculature. They are available in four diameter sizes of .071in, .055in, .045in and .035in.
The flexible catheters are said to complement the firm’s access catheters range intended for consistent navigation deep into the blood vessels of the brain.
Imperative Care marketing executive vice-president Ariel Sutton said: “For any ischemic stroke procedure, getting to the brain quickly with the right tools to remove clots is paramount. Imperative Care has developed a portfolio of access and aspiration catheters that work together to facilitate fast and effective clot removal.
“Imperative Care is laser-focused on improving stroke management and committed to developing technologies that speed solutions to stroke across the full continuum of care. The availability of these products brings us one step closer to making that goal a reality.”
