Control when it counts
Obsidio Conformable Embolic delivers complete occlusion with speed, control, and adaptability. It provides peace of mind in high-stakes and urgent scenarios, but remains versatile enough to treat non-emergent cases such as hypervascular tumors.
See how Obsidio Embolic provides rapid, reliable occlusion.
Obsidio Embolic conforms to the anatomy like a liquid, but it also responds to injection forces, enabling operators to take advantage of different embolic effects depending on the case.

Ready to go instantly
Liquid embolics typically require up to 20 minutes of shaking or mixing.
Obsidio comes in a pre-mixed 1 mL syringe that is ready immediately.
Occludes in seconds
Coils only fill 20-30% of the vessel and rely on thrombus formation.
Obsidio creates a complete mechanical occlusion to stop blood flow in seconds.
Time insensitive
Non-adhesive, virtually no entrapment risk
Four non-toxic ingredients, packaged in a 1 mL (1 cc) ready-to-use syringe, combine through a process called shear thinning to occlude the vessel.
The material comes in a pre-mixed syringe.
When force is applied, the material passes through the catheter.
When force is removed, the material returns to its original soft solid state, occluding the vessel.
Frequently asked questions
Obsidio requires no preparation and provides rapid occlusion compared to other embolic devices, which may require mixing, multiple coils, or adjunctive embolic devices in the case of plugs.
Obsidio also has a much higher safety profile versus glue (you don’t run the risk of gluing your catheter in place), and you have more control due to the shear-thinning nature of Obsidio.
Obsidio is an injectable solid that is delivered through a microcatheter via its shear thinning properties. When shear force is applied during injection, the material temporarily becomes less viscous, allowing it to flow through the catheter. Once the shear force is removed, Obsidio rapidly returns to a more viscous state, enabling controlled embolization of the target vasculature.
Think of toothpaste: it stays thick in the bottle, flows easily when squeezed, and thickens again once it's on the toothbrush. Obsidio behaves similarly — flowing through the microcatheter under pressure and then returning to a semi-solid once delivered into the vessel.
