Description

The Peripheral Occlusion Device (POD) is compromised of a specifically designed platinum enbolisation coil with varied diameter and is attache to a composite pusher with a radiopaque positioning marker. The distal Anchor segment has a larger diameter to secure the coil in a straight or fast flowing vessel. The proximal segment has a softer and smaller diameter to ensure occlusion and stasis of the vessel. The device is transferred into the microcatheter and advanced under fluoroscopic guidance. The device may be fully deployed prior to detachment. the detachment handle is attached and advanced over the proximal ned of the delivery pusher and the the device is detached by using the retraction button on the handle for accurate placement
