How it Works
See this video at.
Occlude
Position MegaVac proximal to target clot and deploy. The catheter then occludes the vessel and arrests blood flow. Stoppage of blood flow prevents clot fragments from traveling downstream.
Aspirate
Once deployed, clot is aspirated through the catheter using a VacLok syringe. Since blood flow has been arrested, the aspiration efficiency is much higher than can be achieved with existing technologies.
Retract
If there is residual clot after the initial aspiration, the ThromboWire is inserted through the MegaVac, through (distal to) clot, and deployed. While aspirating with the MegaVac, the ThromboWire is simultaneously retracted, macerating clot and pulling it into and out of the catheter.
