The FlowTriever is an over-the-wire system designed to:
Remove clot through both mechanical and aspiration mechanisms of action
Capture and Remove large clot burden from big vessels
Treat in a single session
Eliminate the need for thrombolytics
Eliminate ICU Stay
Device Components
Triever20
The Triever20 features a highly trackable, large lumen catheter, and large bore syringe designed to rapidly extract large volumes of clot while limiting blood loss.
FlowTriever Catheter
The FlowTriever Catheter features three self-expanding nitinol mesh disks that are designed to engage, disrupt, and deliver clot to the Triever20 for extraction.
The FlowTriever System is indicated for:
- The non-surgical removal of emboli and thrombi from blood vessels
- Injection, infusion and/or aspiration of contrast media and other fluids into or from a blood vessel
The FlowTriever System is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature and for the treatment of pulmonary embolism.
Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician
