IMPEDE-FX - Embolization Plug
The IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plug is a shape memory polymer plug. 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 IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plug has received FDA clearance - find your local distributor.
Vascular plugs predictably and effectively fill space in a short time, generally leading to shorter procedure times and less radiation exposure. Each IMPEDE-FX 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. The images below are for illustrative purposes only since IMPEDE-FX may only be used in combination with IMPEDE.

The IMPEDE-FX Embolization Plug is indicated for use with the IMPEDE Embolization Plug to obstruct or reduce the rate of blood flow in the peripheral vasculature.
