Carotid artery embolic protection system

14 devices · GMDN 58112

A carotid artery embolic protection system is a specialized assembly used during carotid artery stenting or angioplasty procedures. These devices are designed to capture or block loose debris and blood clots from traveling to the brain, which helps reduce the risk of stroke during vascular interventions.

These systems are intended for single-use only and consist of various components such as catheters, filters, balloons, and guidewires. They are introduced into the patient's artery through a percutaneous approach to facilitate the safe removal of particulate matter during the surgical procedure.
