Thrombectomy rotational catheter

Thrombectomy rotational catheters are medical devices used to clear blockages in blood vessels caused by clots. They work by mechanically breaking down and removing thrombi (clots) or thromboemboli through a spinning motion, restoring blood flow in critical areas like native vessels, stented arteries, or dialysis grafts.

These devices are typically single-use and require a control unit for operation, often paired with accessories like guidewires or collection bags. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk profile, ensuring compliance with safety and performance standards before market authorization.
