Capture & Remove Dangerous Emboli with Visible Proof
Embolization is a common occurrence in cardiac procedures, and the EMBOL-X Glide protection system captures and removes embolic material before it can travel to the microvasculature of the end organs.
- The innovative EMBOL-X Glide system design allows for introduction of the EMBOL-X filter through a one-way access port, incorporated with the aortic cannula.
- The EMBOL-X Glide system features a smooth tapered tip for ease of cannulation.
- The tip is designed for central orientation within the aorta and includes multiple lumens to gently disperse exiting perfusate.
- To ensure effective, repeatable capture of emboli, the intra-aortic filter is composed of a fine, 120-micron, polyester mesh.
- In US clinical trials:
- 97% of filters showed detectable captured embolic material.
- The average filter contained 5.6 captured particles with an average surface area of 3.8 sq mm.
