Argon Medical has today announced the launch of the Cleaner Vac thrombectomy system for the removal of blood clot from the peripheral venous vasculature.
The Cleaner Vac thrombectomy system is a disposable, large-bore aspiration system designed to quickly and effectively remove blood clot, also known as thrombus, from vessels with restricted blood flow. In a recent press release, the company states that the device enables physicians to manually control powered aspiration, enabling procedures with precise clot removal that may minimize vessel damage and reduce blood loss.
“Removing thrombus from the venous anatomy can be very challenging depending on the patient’s condition. Interventionalists need a simple and intuitive tool that allows them to easily navigate through the vasculature to the treatment area and control the removal of any obstructive thrombus. The streamlined design of the Cleaner Vac enables easy assembly, quick navigation, and efficient treatment, making it a welcomed treatment option for patients with this disease state.” said Fakhir Elmasri, MD, an interventional radiologist at Lakeland Vascular Institute in Lakeland, Florida. Elmasri was the first physician in the U.S. to treat a patient with the Cleaner Vac system.
The Cleaner Vac thrombectomy system is currently available in the U.S.
