Non-neurovascular embolization plugs made from animal-derived materials are designed to block blood flow in non-brain blood vessels. Clinically, they’re used to treat aneurysms, tumors (such as kidney or liver tumors), and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) by permanently or long-term occluding the vessel.
These devices are typically bioabsorbable, supplied as preformed plugs (often gelatin foam-based) and may include specialized tools for placement. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they’re generally classified based on risk level and intended use, excluding neurovascular applications like intracranial arteries.
