Ceretrieve

Ceretrieve has designed and developed a unique aspiration catheter with an expandable soft tip that enlarges its diameter from 6F to the clot size, to provide a powerful aspiration force and extract the clot in one piece from the first pass, restore blood flow and remove the clot while ingested inside the expandable soft tip. The catheter is designed to provide physicians with a safe, easy-to-use device to prevent dislodgement of clots (distal embolization), without compromising trackability during thrombectomy procedures for better treatment efficiency and to offer patients improved clinical outcomes. Ceretrieve products are protected with a strong IP portfolio.

Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide, occurring when blood flow to a part of the brain is reduced or cut off due to a blood clot which causes tissue death. Annually, 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. Of these, 5 million die and another 5 million are left permanently disabled, placing a burden on family and community.
