The Cordis ANGIOGUARD® RX Emboli Capture Guidewire System is indicated for use as a guidewire and embolic protection system to contain and remove embolic material (thrombus/debris) while performing carotid artery angioplasty and stenting procedures in carotid arteries. The diameter of the artery at the site of filter basket placement should be from 3mm to 7.5mm (see Instructions for Use for basket/vessel sizing).
With its Rapid Exchange System is easy to use, providing optimal protection while maintaining blood flow.
