The DredgerTM Stent Retriever Thrombectomy Device is a self-expandable thrombus capturing retriever that bonded with a flexible, tapered push wire and an introduce sheath that is supplied for guiding device into microcatheter. The push wire is connected to the proximal end of the retriever. Platinum alloy wire and markers are settled on the tip, body and proximal of retriever for fluoroscopic visualization.
DredgerTM stent retriever thrombectomy device is a new and innovative medical device used for the treatment of ischemic stroke. The device is designed to remove blood clots from blocked arteries in the brain, which can cause a severe and potentially life-threatening condition known as ischemic stroke. The stent retriever thrombectomy device is also an important medical device used to remove blood clots in patients suffering from stroke. Becuase its soft distal tip, large push wire, exclusive varied cell design, unique truck net, and full-length visibility features make it efficient and safe to use. By capturing blood clots efficiently and minimizing trauma to the vascular wall, this device has become an essential tool in the treatment of stroke patients.
Product Features
1. The soft distal tip of the retriever protects the vascular wall from trauma. It is common for doctors to apply some force and pressure on the retriever during the removal of blood clots. However, this force and pressure can sometimes damage the surrounding vascular wall, leading to bleeding and other complications.
2. Large push wire enhances steerability. Steerability is the ability of the retriever to move smoothly and accurately through the patient's blood vessels to the site of the blood clot. The larger the push wire, the better the steerability, and the more efficiently to remove the clot.
3. Comprehensive sizes meet various different clinical needs.
4. The varied cell design means that each cell in the retriever has a different size and shape, which increases the surface area of the device. This increased surface area allows the retriever to capture more of the clot and remove it more effectively.
5. The tuck net helps to avoid broken and small blood clots from running away. As the retriever captures the clot, it can sometimes break apart into smaller pieces. These small pieces can then travel to other parts of the brain, which can cause further complications. The truck net catches these small pieces, preventing them from escaping and causing more damage.
6. Full-length visibility allows doctors to see the device throughout the entire length of the artery that it is being used in. This visibility allows doctors to monitor the device's movements and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the retrieval process is as efficient and safe as possible.
Product Advantages
DredgerTM stent retriever thrombectomy devices offer several advantages over traditional treatments for acute ischemic stroke.
1. High success rate: Stent retrieval have a high success rate in removing blood clots from the brain, with up to 80% of patients achieving reperfusion (restoration of blood flow).
2. Faster treatment times: DredgerTM can be used in conjunction with tPA to provide a more rapid and effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke. This is important because time is critical in treating stroke, and every minute that is saved can help to prevent permanent brain damage.
3. Improved patient outcomes: Patients who undergo stent retriever thrombectomy have been shown to have better outcomes compared to those who receive traditional treatments. This is because stent retriever devices are able to remove blood clots more effectively, which reduces the amount of brain damage that occurs during the stroke.
4. Reduced risk of bleeding: It is less likely to cause bleeding than traditional treatments, such as tPA. This is because the devices are designed to remove the blood clot without damaging the surrounding tissue.
5. Long-term benefits: Patients who undergo stent retriever thrombectomy have been shown to have better long-term outcomes compared to those who receive traditional treatments. This is because the devices are able to restore blood flow to the brain, which improves brain function and reduces the risk of future strokes.
