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
Triever Aspiration Catheter
The Triever Aspiration Catheters feature a highly trackable, large lumen catheter, and large bore syringe designed to rapidly extract large volumes of clot while limiting blood loss.
Available in 3 sizes:
- Triever16: 16 French
- Triever20: 20 French
- Triever24: 24 French
FlowTriever Catheter
The FlowTriever Catheter features three self-expanding nitinol mesh disks that are designed to engage, disrupt, and deliver clot to the Triever Aspiration Catheter for extraction.
Available in 4 sizes:
- S (6-10 mm)
- M (11-14 mm)
- L (15-18 mm)
- XL (19-25mm)
NEW Triever24 with FLEX Technology
The Triever24 with FLEX technology provides increased flexibility through its softer durometer jacket, featuring a highly trackable, large lumen catheter, and large bore syringe designed to rapidly extract large volumes of clot while limiting blood loss.
Key Features:
- 41% More Flexible than existing Triever24 catheter*
- Superior Trackability to better navigate tortuous anatomies and smoothly deliver the catheter to the left PA and through dilated right hearts
- Effective Aspiration to enhance Whoosh™ technique aspiration for maximum clot removal
No changes to the recommended procedure steps for the improved Triever24 Aspiration Catheter!
*The Triever24 with FLEX technology is replacing the existing Triever24 catheter in the FlowTriever System
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.
The Triever Catheters are intended for use in 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
