MultiBEAM Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter

A convertible or retrievable IVC filter preventing pulmonary emboli by intercepting clots traveling through the inferior vena cava, ensuring safety in high-risk patients.

The MultiBEAM Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter, offered by Invamed—a global medical device manufacturer—is designed to capture and retain thromboembolic fragments traveling within the venous system, thereby reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE). Featuring a self-expanding metallic framework, MultiBEAM provides robust fixation in the IVC while facilitating high patency and stable clot containment.

Self-Expanding Nitinol Struts

Engineered from a biocompatible alloy for secure anchoring, even under shifting venous pressures.

Creates multiple capture zones that efficiently trap emboli without significantly restricting blood flow, sustaining venous return.

Certain models allow retrieval within a designated window, while others function as permanent PE prophylaxis solutions—offering clinicians flexibility in management.

Precisely balanced struts help prevent filter migration or tilting, enhancing performance consistency over time.

Indicated for patients at elevated PE risk due to venous thromboembolism (VTE), inadequate response to anticoagulants, or temporary contraindications to anticoagulation therapy.

Excessively narrow or tortuous IVC diameter preventing secure seating, active infection at insertion site, or patient-specific anatomical constraints.
