Embolic protection devices

Mo.Ma™ Ultra proximal cerebral protection device

The Mo.Ma™ Ultra proximal cerebral protection device contains and removes all sizes of debris during interventional procedures in the carotid arteries.

Description

Use the Mo.Ma™ Ultra proximal cerebral protection device to contain and remove all sizes of debris that can dislodge during interventional procedures in the carotid arteries. The Mo.Ma™ Ultra device with its double-occlusion balloon system allows for proximal embolic protection to be established prior to crossing a carotid lesion.

Mo.Ma™ Ultra cerebral protection device is intended to be used during angioplasty and stenting of lesions located in the ICA and/or lesions involving the carotid bifurcation. This device allows protection of the brain from cerebral embolism during the entire duration of the intervention, thus preventing severe and disabling complications. The system allows achieving cerebral protection before target lesion crossing, plus allowing debris removal by blood aspiration at any stage during the procedure.

Mo.Ma double-balloon
Mo.Ma Ultra is indicated to be used in patients eligible for carotid angioplasty and/or stenting with stenosis involving the ICA and/or the carotid bifurcation and reference diameter of ECA from 3 to 6 mm and reference diameter of CCA from 5 to 13 mm.

Features

Proximal cerebral protection

  • Antegrade flow from the common carotid artery (CCA) and retrograde flow from the external common carotid artery (ECA) are temporarily suspended by dual inflation establishing proximal cerebral protection.

Double-occlusion balloon system

  • Uses highly compliant, elastomeric balloons that provide atraumatic flow suspension and stability

Guide-catheter technology

  • Provides excellent trackability, support, and stability for ease of lesion crossing and accurate stent deployment

Working channel exit portal distal to CCA balloon

  • Provides lesion access and effective, efficient aspiration of debris

Radiopaque markers

  • Markers are centrally located in each balloon for precise positioning and orientation

Optimal device selection

  • Allows for selection of preferred wires, stents, and balloons during intervention

High-capture efficiency

  • Facilitates the removal of all sizes of debris through aspiration
