Medtronic - Model ONYXTM -Pre-surgical Liquid Embolic System
Designed for presurgical embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs), Onyx™ liquid embolic system (LES) is a pre-mixed, radiopaque, injectable embolic fluid consisting of the following components: EVOH (ethylene vinyl-alcohol copolymer), DMSO (dimethyl-sulfoxide) and TA (micronized tantalum powder).
THE ADVANTAGE OF TIME,
THE POWER OF CONTROL1-3
During presurgical embolization of bAVMs, with the OnyxTM LES system, the DMSO solvent dissipates into the blood and interstitial fluids, causing the EVOH copolymer and suspended tantalum to precipitate in situ into a spongy, coherent substance. The Onyx™ liquid embolic system begins to form a skin and solidifies over time from the outside to the inside.
- Cohesive deposition and delivery1
- A slow controlled injection and delivery method2
- Ability to stop and start the injection3
The ApolloTM OnyxTM delivery microcatheter was expressly designed to access the neuro vasculature for the controlled selective infusion of the OnyxTM liquid embolic system (LES)4.
The MarathonTM flow directed microcatheter was designed for the infusion of therapeutic agents such as embolization materials5.
