The Angel® Catheter allows for bedside placement with no need to move the patient to an endovascular suite. Following placement of the Angel® Catheter, proper positioning of the filter can be confirmed via an abdominal radiograph (KUB). After the KUB the filter can be repositioned as needed.
The Angel® Catheter is also intended to provide access to the central venous system for recognized standard clinical indications.
The elegant design of the Angel® Catheter provides critical care physicians and their patients with prophylactic PE protection and guarantees IVC filter retrieval, a game changing promise that no other IVC filter can make. Optimal removal is done under fluoroscopy in the endovascular suite using a cavogram to identify potential thrombus.
