EMBOL-X Glide Protection System

Capture & Remove Dangerous Emboli with Visible Proof
Embolization is a common occurrence in cardiac procedures, and the EMBOL-X Glide protection system captures and removes embolic material before it can travel to the microvasculature of the end organs.

  • The innovative EMBOL-X Glide system design allows for introduction of the EMBOL-X filter through a one-way access port, incorporated with the aortic cannula.
  • The EMBOL-X Glide system features a smooth tapered tip for ease of cannulation.
  • The tip is designed for central orientation within the aorta and includes multiple lumens to gently disperse exiting perfusate.
  • To ensure effective, repeatable capture of emboli, the intra-aortic filter is composed of a fine, 120-micron, polyester mesh.
  • In US clinical trials:
    • 97% of filters showed detectable captured embolic material.
    • The average filter contained 5.6 captured particles with an average surface area of 3.8 sq mm.

CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. See Instructions for Use for full prescribing information.
