Catheter Embolectomy

• An embolectomy catheter is a medical device used to remove emboli (blood clots or other obstructions) from blood vessels.

• It typically consists of a hollow tube with an inflatable balloon at the tip.

• The catheter is inserted into the vessel, and the balloon is inflated to trap and remove the clot.

Key Features:

•Balloon: The inflatable balloon is made of a biocompatible material and is designed to conform to the vessel wall when inflated.

• Catheter Body: The catheter shaft is typically made of a flexible material like silicone or PVC, and may be reinforced for strength.

• Luer Lock: A connector at the proximal end of the catheter allows for connection to a syringe for balloon inflation and other uses.
