Viper ULTRA Thrombolysis Catheter
En ultra infusion catheter specialized for direct thrombolytic delivery, featuring multi-hole design to uniformly distribute drugs across large clot segments.
The Viper® Ultrasonic Pharmacomechanical Thrombolysis System is a minimally invasive device designed to dissolve thrombi by combining targeted ultrasonic waves with controlled tPA infusion. By thinning fibrin y increasing clot porosity, the system enables deeper drug penetration into the thrombus, thereby enhancing the efficacy of pharmacological therapy. This approach helps mitigate potential bleeding complications y preserves vessel integrity, offering a more refined, patient-centric strategy for acute thrombosis management.
Ultrasonic Wave Delivery
- Controlled Ultrasound: Low-power ultrasonic energy focuses on fibrin disruption, loosening the structural integrity of the clot.
- Enhanced Porosity: Breaking fibrin strands encourages tPA to penetrate deeper, ensuring thorough thrombus dissolution.
Pharmacomechanical Infusion
- tPA Administration: A site-specific delivery of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) directly into the clot.
- Synergistic Effect: Ultrasonic micro-cavitation augments the fibrinolytic effect, requiring lower drug doses and potentially reducing hemorrhagic complications.
Gentle Mechanization
- Minimal Vessel Trauma: Ultrasonic waves are calibrated to avoid damaging valves, vessel walls, or critical structures within the venous or pulmonary vasculature.
- Reduced Bleeding Risk: Lower overall drug usage and localized infusion can curtail systemic side effects.
