The Dredger Mechanical Thrombectomy Retriever is deployed in an occluded vessel and are temporarily expanded into the body of a thrombus in order to recanalize the vessel, allowing for reperfusion of ischemic sites and causing the thrombus to be partially entangled within the stent. It is then performed by retracting the stent.

The DredgerTM mechanical thrombectomy retriever is a tiny metal wire mesh that is inserted into the blocked blood vessel to capture the clot. It consists of a flexible and elastic wire core that is coated with a thin layer of metal. The metal mesh is formed by weaving and braiding the metal wire into a complex pattern. The mesh is designed to expand in diameter when it is deployed, allowing it to conform to the shape of the blood vessel and retrieve the clot. DredgerTM has a unique design that sets it apart from other medical devices used for this purpose. It is made from a combination of materials that are strong, flexible, and biocompatible, making it safe to use inside the body. The mesh is designed to be self-expanding, which means that it does not require any external force to open up. The material used to create the mesh is carefully selected to ensure that it is not too stiff or too soft and can be easily controlled by the doctor during the procedure. In addition, DredgerTM mechanical thrombectomy retriever has several features that make it highly effective in the removal of blood clots. Firstly, it has a high clot retrieval efficiency, meaning that it can remove even large clots with high success rates. Secondly, it has a low profile, which means that it can be inserted into the narrowest of blood vessels without causing any damage to the vessel walls. Thirdly, it has a shape memory effect, which means that it can be collapsed and re-expanded to fit different sizes of blood vessels. Moreover, the thrombectomy Retriever is easy to use and can be deployed quickly during a medical emergency. It is also designed to be compatible with other medical devices used in the treatment of stroke, such as catheters and stents. The mesh is made from materials that are resistant to kinking and twisting, preventing the device from getting stuck in the blood vessel during the procedure.

DredgerTM Mechanical Thrombectomy Retriever is used for eliminating the blood clots that have accumulated in the neurovascular vessels during an acute ischemic stroke. These devices comprise aspiration catheter and stent retrieval. These devices are capable of removing thrombi from Neurovasculature in the case of patients suffering from an acute ischemic stroke. These devices are effectively used in the treatment of the blockage of the brain that might arise due to multiple reasons such as atheroma and thrombus within one or more arteries. Stroke is the major cause of disability and most of the cases that require treatment via neurovascular thrombectomy are those of an ischemic stroke. The blood clot present in the arteries can cause fatal complications if left untreated. There are no significant difference in revascularization rate and safety using either thrombectomy technique with NeuroSafe’s GluttonTM aspiration catheter and DredgerTM revascularization device for acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusions.
