Inari Medical, now Stryker, a global leader in medical technologies, announced the launch of its Artix Thrombectomy System. Purpose-built for the distinct needs of the peripheral arterial system, Artix is a combined aspiration plus mechanical thrombectomy solution that delivers procedural control and versatility, and is designed to set a new standard for arterial thrombectomy.
An arterial blood clot in the leg is a life- and limb-threatening emergency requiring immediate treatment. However, existing therapies for arterial thromboembolism can lead to:
- Ineffective clot retrieval leading to additional procedures (open surgery or amputation).
- Significant blood loss.
- Adverse events such as arterial embolization and vessel trauma.
- High rates of lytic use, which may result in complications.
The Artix System builds on the success of Inari’s venous thrombectomy devices and is its inaugural entry into the arterial space. Inari offers a comprehensive toolkit approach to arterial thrombectomy with an innovative, over-the-wire system that provides physicians with the flexibility to aspirate and/or mechanically extract a clot.
Key distinctive features of the Artix system include:
Key distinctive features of the Artix system include:
- Dual mechanical thrombectomy and aspiration toolkit designed to remove acute to chronic clots in a single session via a streamlined procedure.
- Aspiration-capable, 8 Fr. low profile, trackable, kink-resistant sheath in both 65cm and 90cm lengths expands treatment options by enabling more complex and distal interventions.
- Innovative over-the-wire mechanical element designed to effectively collect and retrieve acute-to-chronic clot.
- Covered nitinol mesh funnel provides temporary flow restriction during the procedure to minimize the risk of arterial clot migration.
