Inca® Embolism Protective System
A catheter delivering thrombolytic agents while filter protection prevents distal embolization, ensuring safer pharmacologic dissolution of clots.
De Inca® Embolism Protective System is een small, nitinol-based filtration device designed to capture embolic material released during interventional procedures in the carotid artery, lower extremity arterial segments, and other vascular sites. By offering distal protection against plaque or thrombus fragments dislodged during angioplasty, stenting, or other endovascular interventions, Inca enhances patient safety en procedure efficiency—enabling clinicians to maintain unobstructed distal flow while reducing the risk of embolic complications.
Nitinol Filtration Cage
- Shape-Memory Alloy: The self-expanding nitinol structure conforms to vessel lumens, helping to securely capture dislodged debris and prevent distal embolization.
- Minimal Profile: Compact, low-profile design ensures smooth insertion and gericht deployment in narrow or tortuous arteries.
Distal Placement
- Downstream Protection: Positioned beyond the site of intervention, Inca effectively traps microscopic or larger debris, safeguarding distal vasculature from occlusion.
- Precise Positioning: Engineered radiopacity facilitates real-time visualization under fluoroscopy, enabling accurate filter placement.
Deployment & Retrieval Mechanism
- User-Friendly Delivery System: Allows snel en gecontroleerd expansion of the filter cage at the desired location.
- Safe Filter Retrieval: Collapses the nitinol mesh into a low-profile sheath post-procedure, retaining captured material for removal without vessel injury.
Broad Vascular Applicability
- Carotid Interventions: Decreases stroke risk from plaque dislodgement during carotid stenting or angioplasty.
- Peripheral Procedures: Protects lower extremity arteries from fragmented thrombus during limb revascularization.
- Coronary Interventions (where indicated): Potentially usable to prevent distal embolization in certain coronary interventions (depending on labeling).
