An ultrasound thrombolysis system catheter for pulmonary use is a flexible tube inserted through the skin into the pulmonary arteries to deliver both ultrasound energy and clot-dissolving drugs directly to blood clots. It works by using low-frequency ultrasound to loosen the structure of the clot, allowing medications like tPA to penetrate more effectively and break down the obstruction.
This device is intended for single-use only and is supplied as a sterile component of a larger system that includes an external ultrasound control unit. As an invasive intravascular device delivering energy and drugs, it is subject to strict regulatory controls to ensure safety and performance in clinical use.
