Embolic Coils
Detachable Coils are used in approximately 60,000 procedures worldwide each year. These catheter-based devices are utilized in virtually all endovascular treatments of aneurysms and a small number of arterio-venous malformations (AVMs). The procedure involves the threading of one or more thin wires through a catheter into the affected area of the brain, filling the weakened portion of the vessel. Once in place, the body responds by forming a blood clot around the coil, further reducing the pressure and risk of rupture
ev3 offers a variety of coils to address the many needs of physicians.
