MEDRAD
INTERVENTIONAL/POSSIS MEETING & TOUR - WEDNESDAY, MAR 10, 2010
MEDRAD Interventional/Possis designs and manufactures a line of Thrombectomy Catheters used for removing thrombus (blood clots) from blood vessels. These unique catheters utilize a high pressure (8,000 to 12,000 psi) saline jet stream directed through orifices in distal tip of the catheter shaft. These jets generate a localized low-pressure zone (Bernoulli Effect) that results in thrombus entrainment and fragmentation. These jets also provide the driving force that evacuates the thrombus particles through the catheter and out of the body. (more)

A MESSAGE
FROM THE CHAIR
The good news is that we are finally coming into spring. The bad news is that there are only three more company visits left. The March tour is at MEDRAD Interventional/Possis and the April tour is planned for the High Bridge generating plant pending final approval. We are in the planning phase of another technical presentation for the spring.
The executive committee strives to offer opportunities for professional development and has received very positive feedback on the technical seminars offered in the past. As such, we will endeavor to offer more in the future. The model has been to locate an individual that is well versed in a subject that is willing to put forth the effort to share the subject matter with the membership. It is a meaningful experience; especially the ensuing technical discussion at the end of the presentation. (read full letter)
