Peripheral Vascular

The ThromCat System is the first thrombectomy catheter to provide the right balance of strength and simplicity for the broad range of thrombus removal procedures.

With its unique Heliflex™ technology, the ThromCat System flushes, macerates and extracts with a vacuum strength of 700mmHg and incorporates advanced vessel-wall safety features. No other system simplifies procedures like the compact ThromCat System does, with its quick set-up, excellent deliverability and one-button control. The ThromCat System quickly and reliably removes thrombus from synthetic hemodialysis access grafts and native vessel dialysis fistulae 2.5mm to 7.0mm in diameter.

Simplicity for Unprecedented Ease of Use

Quick Set-Up:

Spike infusate
Power up
Prime pump

Compact Design:

Single operator convenience with one-button control
Completely disposable—no capital equipment

Novel Heliflex™ technology combines flushing, maceration and extraction to quickly and reliably remove thrombus.

Aspiration draws thrombus into
the catheter, where it is macerated by an internal helix.
Simultaneous flushing and extraction ensures a thorough cleaning of the vessel lumen.

Enclosed helix means added safety with no direct vessel wall contact and minimal vessel injury.*
Atraumatic, flexible rubber tip helps preserve vessel wall integrity.

*Data on file.

Indications

The ThromCat System is indicated for mechanical removal of thrombus in synthetic hemodialysis access grafts and native vessel dialysis fistulae.

Contraindications

Graft or lesion that cannot be crossed with 0.014" (0.36 mm) diameter guidewire.
Graft or vessel with reference diameter by visual estimation less than (<) 2.5mm or greater than (>) 7.0 mm.
Severe vessel tortuosity.
Infection.
Significant cardiopulmonary vascular compromise.

Warnings

Do not operate device without a guidewire, as vessel injury may result. Manipulation of catheter, while in vivo, should be performed under fluoroscopic guidance. Do not attempt to advance catheter against resistance until cause of resistance has been determined by fluoroscopy or other means, as vessel injury may result. If excessive slack or a loop in the guidewire is observed between the guide catheter and the monorail segment of the catheter during the procedure, the guidewire may become kinked within the vessel during catheter advancement or retraction. Do not use device if catheter or infusate line has been kinked, as catheter damage and/or vessel injury may result. Do not use device in access catheters or vessel tortuosity with excessive curvatures (<2.5 cm diameter). Do not allow catheter to remain in a stationary position while operating, as catheter damage and/or vessel injury may result. The safety and effectiveness of the ThromCat System in vessels with an existing dissection has not been determined.
