A non-neurovascular embolization plug, metallic is a permanent or long-term implant made of metal that is placed in blood vessels outside the brain to block blood flow. It is used to treat conditions such as aneurysms, tumors like hepatoma or uterine fibroids, and arteriovenous malformations by inducing clot formation through an expandable scaffold design.
These devices are supplied with dedicated implantation instruments and are intended for use in peripheral or visceral vasculature only. They are not designed for neurovascular applications and rely on their metallic structure to achieve occlusion without being absorbed by the body.
