The DredgerTM Stent Retrieval is a tiny mesh tube that grab and extract blood clots in blocked arteries. These devices are used in conjunction with a highly flexible, thin aspiration catheter, that’s threaded into the femoral artery in your groin and up into the arteries in your brain. Once near the blood clot, the stent retriever springs open and enmeshes itself in the blood clot. As the catheter’s aspiration begins, the stent retriever is retracted and the clot is pulled out. The atraumatic soft tip is a significant feature of stent retrieval. This feature ensures that the stent can be smoothly inserted and retrieved without damaging the surrounding tissues. The soft tip is specially designed to minimize trauma to the vessels and surrounding structures and maintain the integrity of the tissues. This safety feature is particularly important for delicate procedures like an endovascular aneurysm repair or removing clots from the brain. Another remarkable feature of stent retrieval products is the distinctive tuck net. The tuck net is designed to securely capture the stent without letting go of it during the retrieval process. The tuck net ensures the stent is well-contained, preventing it from migrating to other distant parts of the body. The last feature that distinguishes some stent retrieval products from others is the larger push wire. The push wire is a key component of the stent retrieval process and plays a crucial role in ensuring the proper deployment of the stent.
Features&Advantages
Our DredgerTM Stent Retrieval portfolio is designed to give you greater confidence during acute ischemic stroke procedures because of its excellent performances as below:
1. The soft tip prevents damage to the inner wall of the blood vessel.
2. The stent retrieval features a larger push wire that allows the physician to manipulate the device to successfully retrieve the clots.
3. Comprehensive sizes meet a variety of different requirements.
4. The truck net design prevents small blood clots from escaping to the distal end.
5. The movable varied cell design for capturing, clamping and removal of thrombus.
6. It is complete visible to provide real-time visual feedback.
7. The Lowest radial outward force reduces vascular intima stimulation and damage.
Specifications
Indication For Use
1. The Dredger Revascularization Device (Dredger RD) is indicated for use to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke to reduce disability in patients with a persistent, proximal anterior circulation, large vessel occlusion, and smaller core infarcts who have first received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA). Endovascular therapy with the device should start within 6 hours of symptom onset.
2. The Dredger RD is intended to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus in patients experiencing ischemic stroke within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who fail IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.
