With its advanced technology designed for simplicity and effectiveness, the FilterWire EZ Embolic Protection System is intended to deliver efficient, predictable protection.
Product Information
Easy to Use
- Reliable Wall Apposition – Self-conforming filter loop is designed to provide 360º apposition in both straight and curved anatomy.
- Easy Delivery – Efficient design reduces preparation time and simplifies device deployment.
- Efficient Debris Capture – Uniform, 110-micron-pore filter is designed to permit continuous blood flow while maintaining embolic capture efficiency.
Built-in Versatility
- Dual-Indication Use – Approved for both saphenous vein graft (SVG) and carotid indications.
- Simplified Filter Sizing – One product line provides coverage in vessels ranging between 2.25mm and 5.5mm for SVG procedures and between 3.5mm and 5.5mm for carotid procedures.
Clinically Effective
- The BLAZE and BLAZE II registries achieved a low 6.7% and 3.8% MACE rate, respectively, and confirmed the safety and performance of the FilterWire System in SVGs.*
