Merci Retriever and Penumbra System
"The MERCI (Mechanical Embolus Removal in Cerebral Ischemia) Retriever consists of a flexible, nickel titanium (nitinol) wire with a helical-shaped distal tip. The helical distal tip is covered with a platinum radiopaque coil, which facilitates fluoroscopic visualization. The body of the MERCI Retriever is covered with a hydrophilic coating that helps facilitate device placement. The MERCI Retriever is available in 6 configurations (Merci Retrievers X6, L5, L4, L6, V series, DAC).~The Penumbra System uses a reperfusion catheter in parallel with a separator component and an aspiration source to achieve separation of the thrombus and subsequent aspiration of the occlusion from the vessel. The system is available in different sizes according to the target vessels (041 Reperfusion Catheter/Separator pair for use in vessels larger than 3mm, notably the ICA and M1; 032 Reperfusion Catheter/Separator pair for use in vessels 2mm - 3mm, notably the M2)."
