Based on the same revolutionary technology as the ACDO, the Amplatz Vascular plug is a vascular occlusion device with a wide range of applications. With a lower profile, it is able to be used in dogs with vessels too small to accommodate the ACDO.
Details
The Canine Vascular Plug is indicated for arterial and venous embolizations in the peripheral vasculature. It is a self-expandable, cylindrical device made from a Nitinol wire mesh. The device is secured on both ends with platinum marker bands. A stainless steel micro screw is welded to one of the platinum marker bands, which allows attachment to the pusher wire that is placed within a hoop dispenser.
Options
The Vascular plug is available in diameters from 4mm through 16mm. The device diameter should be 30-50% larger than the target vessel diameter.
