Product Description
Product Specifications & Sizes
Unique Frame
- Cylindrical Nitinol frame designed to minimize migration, perforation, embolization, fracture, and tilt
- Self-expanding filter cone formed by 6 arms held centrally by a bioabsorbable filament2
- Self-centering filtering cone is designed to reduce the risk of tilting and thereby maximizes filtration capacity
Bioconvertible Design
- Designed to provide filtration during the period of transient risk (approximately 60 days)3 then bioconvert, allowing filter arms to retract to the IVC wall and restoring an open, unobstructed lumen1,4
- Bioconversion process allows for protection when you need it, and patency when you don’t 2
- Eliminates the requirement, cost, and risk associated with IVC filter retrieval
