Neurovascular embolization coils are small, implantable devices designed to block blood flow in abnormal blood vessels within the brain, such as aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Deployed via a catheter, these coils expand inside the affected vessel to form a clot, cutting off blood supply to the abnormal area and preventing rupture or further complications.
These devices are typically regulated as implantable medical devices, often requiring pre-market approval or clearance depending on the jurisdiction. They are usually supplied as part of a kit, including disposable delivery tools like catheters or wires, and are classified based on their intended use and risk profile, though classification varies by region.
