Description

SQUID is a non-adhesive, liquid embolic agent consisting of an ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH ) copolymer dissolved in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), and suspended micronized tantalum powder to provide contrast for visualisation under fluoroscopy. The SQUID Liquid Embolic System consists of a vial of SQUID, a vial of DMSO, two SQUID delivery syringes, one DMSO delivery syringe, two syringe adapters and 8 stickers to identify the vials of SQUID. A SQUID-compatible delivery micro-catheter, the use of which is indicated for the neurovascular system (Sonic, Balt catheters) is used to access the embolization site. The adapter is an interface between the SQUID delivery syringe and the delivery catheter.
