This is a procurement-oriented overview for distributors, hospitals, and clinics evaluating embolization devices. Because embolization is generally intended to be permanent, careful vessel selection and sizing are emphasized so that only the intended territory is occluded. As a medical device manufacturer, INVAMED develops technologies in this area; the information here is educational and not medical advice.
Background: Endovascular Embolization
Transarterial approaches also include transarterial radioembolization (TARE) and other targeted therapies delivered through dedicated microcatheters, always as determined by the treating interventional team. Embolization is an endovascular technique in which an occluding material is delivered through a catheter to intentionally block blood flow in a target vessel, and it is used across a broad range of indications. Because embolization is generally intended to be permanent, careful vessel selection and sizing are emphasized so that only the intended territory is occluded.
Regulatory Status and Manufacturing
INVAMED's embolization portfolio includes the Spider Peripheral Detachable Coil System (detachable and pushable), the fiber-filled MultiBEAM Embolization Plug, the Pars Detachable and MicroDELIVERY Embolization Catheters, the Stena Multi-Layer Flow Modulator, and the cross-listed Libro Non-Adhesive Embolization Agent. Per its product page, the MultiBEAM plug is available in 4 to 16 mm diameters, is suitable for arteries from 2.6 to 6.2 mm, and is delivered through a 4F or 5F catheter with a 0.038 inch inner-diameter lumen via a 5F guide sheath. Detailed coil dimensions, plug sizing tables, and microcatheter compatibility information are provided in product documentation, and buyers should request the relevant IFU for each device. Procurement teams should confirm local regulatory registration and approved indications, which vary by market and device configuration.
Portfolio and Sizing
Within this category, INVAMED lists devices such as Spider Peripheral Detachable Coil System, MultiBEAM Embolization Plug, Pars Detachable Embolization Catheter, MicroDELIVERY Embolization Catheter, Stena Multi-Layer Flow Modulator, Libro Non-Adhesive Embolization Agent. Size ranges, materials, and configurations are detailed in product documentation and the applicable IFU.
Key Considerations
- Manufacturer statements about INVAMED devices, including comparative claims on the MultiBEAM product page, reflect the company's positioning rather than guaranteed individual outcomes.
- Matching the embolic agent to the target level of the vascular tree, from proximal plugs and coils to distal particles or liquids, is central to planning.
- Detachable designs allow the operator to confirm position before committing, which can be valuable near sensitive branches.
Frequently Asked Questions
What coils does INVAMED offer?
INVAMED offers the Spider Peripheral Detachable Coil System in detachable and pushable configurations; per invamed.com content surfaced via the search index, the shared Spider coil family uses a platinum-tungsten (92/8%) alloy with roughly 2 to 30 mm coil diameters.
What vessel sizes can the MultiBEAM plug occlude?
According to its product page, the MultiBEAM Embolization Plug is suitable for occlusion of arteries from 2.6 to 6.2 mm, is offered in 4 to 16 mm diameters, and is delivered through a 4F or 5F catheter.
Is embolization a substitute for surgery?
INVAMED's MultiBEAM product page states the transcatheter plug "provides great benefit instead of surgical treatment in suitable patients" with reportedly high success and low complication rates, but suitability is always a clinical determination.
About INVAMED
INVAMED is a medical device manufacturer headquartered in Ankara, Turkey, founded in 2005. INVAMED states it maintains a growing portfolio of international patents across its device range.
Clinical and Technical Context
Because embolization is usually intended to be permanent, precise vessel selection and sizing are emphasized so that only the intended territory is occluded. Indication, agent choice, and delivery route are all clinical determinations made by the interventional team. Whether embolization is appropriate, and which agent and delivery system are chosen, is a clinical decision that weighs the target vessel, surrounding anatomy, and overall condition of the patient. INVAMED's Spider Peripheral Detachable Coil System provides detachable and pushable options intended for such peripheral applications.
