Guidewire-free ultra-large-caliber aspiration catheter: a new breakthrough in thrombus removal

a new breakthrough in thrombus removal

Stroke is an acute event where the difference between life and death often depends on the accessibility and rapid removal of clots. Reperfusion systems provide clinicians and patients with practice-changing, much-needed innovations.

Currently, three thrombus aspiration products have been approved by the FDA for marketing, namely FreeClimb 88, FreeClimb 70 and FreeClimb 54. Among them, FreeClimb 70 and FreeClimb 54 are able to reach distal vessels, remove distal clots, and improve patient outcomes.

Monopoint, a large-bore aspiration catheter without a guidewire, has completed clinical registration and is expected to be approved by the FDA for marketing next year.

FreeClimb

FreeClimb is an advanced access system designed to provide superior performance - even in the most tortuous anatomical structures. It is the first fully integrated solution designed around the Tenzing 7 delivery catheter, which provides excellent navigation and predictable access to occluded distal vessels, eliminating the need for a guidewire. FreeClimb's advanced design also eliminates the "ledge effect" commonly seen in large-bore catheters.

FreeClimb is comprised of the FreeClimp 54/70/88 aspiration catheters and the Tenzing 5/7/8 delivery catheters.

FreeClimp Aspiration Catheters

Designed for Ultimate Deliverability, Durability and Efficiency

The FreeClimb wide-bore design eliminates the need for microcatheters and guidewires, improving efficiency and durability for superior deliverability in one step.

.....

Tenzing Delivery Catheters

The Tenzing Delivery Catheters feature a tapered, atraumatic tip designed to follow the natural flow direction of blood and seek out primary target vessels.

Monopoint

Monopoint is an advanced thrombus aspiration platform comprised of the Base Camp Sheath, HiPoint Catheter and Tenzing Delivery Catheter. Unlike any other aspiration catheter, each component of the Monopoint is designed to nest within the next, providing a streamlined design (virtually step-free at the distal end) so it can follow curvatures without snagging branches.

Monopoint enables consistent delivery through tortuous anatomical structures—often without the need for a guidewire or passing through a clot. and eliminates length restrictions, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of treatment options.

Monopoint balances stability and flexibility to deliver large-bore (0.070") and extra-large-bore (0.088") aspiration catheters to the distal M1.

Base Camp Sheath

Provides access and a stable base for delivering large-bore and extra-large-bore catheters from a single rotary hemostasis valve (RHV)

HiPoint Catheter

HiPoint Catheter features a hybrid design -- a unique rail design that reduces catheter-to-catheter friction and enhances physician control. HiPoint Catheter is available in two models, HiPoint 88 and HiPoint 70.

Tenzing Delivery Catheter

Tenzing Delivery Catheter features a tapered, atraumatic tip designed to follow the natural flow direction of blood and seek out primary target vessels.
