IMPEDE - Embolization plug
The IMPEDE Embolization Plug comprises a shape memory polymer plug and an anchor coil. The porous embolic scaffold supports the rapid formation of small interconnected clots throughout its structure. The biocompatible and non-inflammatory polymer promotes rapid conversion to organized thrombus, followed by collagen deposition without chronic active inflammation, which leads to a stable occlusion.‡ The anchor coil offers stability in higher-flow locations and IMPEDE may be used in combination with IMPEDE-FX to minimize artifact in a single vessel.
The IMPEDE Embolization Plug has received both FDA clearance and CE mark - find your local distributor.
The IMPEDE Embolization Plug is indicated to obstruct or reduce the rate of blood flow in the peripheral vasculature.
Vascular plugs predictably and effectively fill space in a short time, generally leading to shorter procedure times and less radiation exposure. Each IMPEDE Embolization Plug offers a high embolic material volume and inherent 100% packing density. Packing density has been shown to be an important factor in avoiding recanalization.*
Minimal ArtifactThe shape memory polymer portion of the device has no artifact, which facilitates follow-up imaging.
