Having received European clearance last May, Medtronic is now announcing that its Advance Aspiration catheter won FDA approval in the United States. The device is designed to remove thrombi from coronary arteries during angiographic procedures.
The device features variable braiding technology that allows for different levels of flexibility along the length of the catheter. The inner metal core makes sure there’s no kinking during delivery, preventing an already acute situation from becoming more difficult.
