This is a technical overview of an INVAMED device within the neurovascular interventions portfolio. Intracranial aneurysms are focal outpouchings of a brain artery wall, and endovascular options aim to seal the aneurysm from circulation to reduce rupture risk. As a medical device manufacturer, INVAMED develops technologies in this area; the information here is educational and not medical advice.
Background: Acute Ischemic Stroke and Intracranial Aneurysm Intervention
Aneurysm techniques include packing the sac with detachable coils and redirecting flow across the neck with a densely braided flow diverter so the sac thromboses over time. Patient eligibility, the treatment window, and device selection are all determined by the treating neurointerventional team using imaging and current criteria. Mechanical thrombectomy removes the clot with a catheter-based device, and it is used in selected patients alongside or after intravenous thrombolysis where indicated.

How It Works and Where It Fits
INVAMED's neurovascular portfolio spans clot retrieval, aspiration, aneurysm packing, embolization, and the access tools that reach the intracranial circulation. A flow diverter is a densely braided, low-porosity stent deployed across an aneurysm neck to redirect flow away from the sac while maintaining flow in the parent vessel. Mechanical thrombectomy encompasses the catheter-based techniques used to physically remove a clot from a blocked cerebral artery.
Key Considerations
- Speed to reperfusion is a central factor in stroke thrombectomy, which shapes device readiness and workflow in eligible patients.
- All INVAMED neurovascular devices are intended for use by trained neurointerventional operators under imaging guidance and per the IFU.
- For aneurysms, coil sizing and packing or flow-diverter selection are matched to the aneurysm's shape and neck.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the regulatory status of these neurovascular devices?
Device availability and regulatory status vary by country. Please contact INVAMED or your authorized local distributor for current regulatory information applicable to your region.
What treatment window does INVAMED cite for the KinG device?
According to INVAMED product content, the KinG device is described as capturing and extracting cerebral artery clots within a treatment window of up to 24 hours; eligibility is a clinical determination.
What is the INVAMED stent retriever called?
INVAMED's stent retriever is the KinG Intracranial Revascularization Device, a self-expanding nitinol device with platinum markers for fluoroscopic visualization.
Clinical and Technical Context
All INVAMED neurovascular devices are intended for use by trained neurointerventional operators under imaging guidance and per the IFU. INVAMED's Spider Intracranial Coil System uses a platinum-tungsten 92/8 percent alloy in detachable and pushable configurations with instant mechanical detachment; according to INVAMED, Spider coils provide aneurysm packing across 2 to 30 mm coil diameters. Coil sizing and packing strategy are determined by the neurointerventionalist for the specific aneurysm. Manufacturer statements, including the described up-to-24-hour window for the KinG device, reflect product content and do not establish individual eligibility. Acute ischemic stroke from a large vessel occlusion happens when a clot blocks a major brain artery, cutting off blood flow to a region of brain tissue. Speed to reperfusion is a central factor in stroke thrombectomy, which shapes device readiness and workflow in eligible patients. For aneurysms, coil sizing and packing or flow-diverter selection are matched to the aneurysm's shape and neck. Whether a flow diverter is appropriate, versus coiling, is a specialized decision made by the treating clinician.
