Description

The IMPEDE Embolization Plug is a pushable embolization device comprised of a self-expanding porous Shape Memory Polymer (SMP) Plug and a proximal platinum/iridium markerband or distal pre-shaped helical Anchor Coil comprised of nitinol and platinum, and a proximal platinum marker band.. The device is supplied pre-loaded in an Introducer with the SMP Plug in a crimped state. It is designed to be delivered to the target vessel using a guidewire through a standard catheter/sheath. Upon deployment in the target vessel and exposure to an aqueous environment and body temperature, the SMP Plug will self-expand to embolize the target vessel. The IMPEDE Embolization Plug System is packaged as a single unit and is provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and is intended for single use only.
