Join us tour and
technical discussion at MEDRAD Interventional/Possis.
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. MEDRAD
Interventional/Possis also designs and manufactures aspiration
catheters and vascular occlusion devices.
There will be a
technical talk on the mechanics of operation of a thrombectomy
catheter followed by a demonstration. This will be
followed by a tour that will show some of the R&D and
manufacturing capability.
