By GlobalDataThe Malibu Aspiration Catheter is a single-lumen catheter, which features a two-way flow control valve at the proximal end.
With a gradient structural design and hydrophilic coating, the catheter offers better navigability through tortuous vessels.
It provides the flexibility to be used alone or in combination with the Laguna Clot Retriever, which comes with a self-expanding laser-cut Nitinol design.
The retriever’s strength and cell sizes are optimised to improve clot capture and support circumferential clot ingress.
