Features and Benefits

The convertible vena cava filter


  • Excellent effectiveness of caval filtration is combined with the possibility of filter
  • deactivation
  • For femoral or jugular approach
  • Wire design and high flexibility to accommodate vena cava up to 32 mm in diameter
  • Unique patented concept of deactivation: When it is clinically indicated to discontinue filtration, the filter elements are converted to an open configuration and the Vena Cava lumen is restored to its original state.

Filter Conversion

  • Advance gooseneck snare catheter to the top of the filter hook
  • Capture the hook on the cone of the filter with the loop of the gooseneck snare
  • Advance the gooseneck catheter downward until it covers the hook
  • Unlock filter head (pull snare proximally until filter head unlocks)
  • Retrieve filter head


Safety informations

Indications:

- Contraindications to anticoagulants (severe coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia, hemorrhage, recent brain surgery, recent cranial trauma)

- Failure of the anticoagulants treatment (recurrent pulmonary embolism under treatment development of clot in spite of anti-coagulation)

- Severe complication of the anticoagulants treatment (intestinal hemorrhage, gastroduodenal ulcer)
