Inari Medical, now part of Stryker, recently announced the launch of its Artix thrombectomy system. Purpose-built for the needs of the peripheral arterial system, Artix is a combined aspiration plus mechanical thrombectomy solution.
Stryker notes that the Artix system builds on Inari’s venous thrombectomy devices and is its first entry into the arterial space.
Jonathan Bowman, MD, section chief of vascular surgery at Norwalk Hospital in Norwalk, Connecticut, performed the first commercial case with Artix on Oct. 19, 2024. “The Artix thrombectomy system marks a significant advancement in peripheral arterial thromboembolism treatment,” said Bowman. “With Artix, I finally have a solution that effectively addresses a wide range of clots while enabling me to maintain vessel access and retain control throughout the entire case. I expect Artix will take the place of open surgical repair in many of my arterial cases.”
