Aspiration
Aspiration
The Riptide™ aspiration system is designed to remove occlusive thrombus from the cerebral vasculature during acute ischemic strokes.
The Riptide™ aspiration system is designed to remove occlusive thrombus from the cerebral vasculature using continuous aspiration. The catheter shaft has a hydrophilic coating that spans the distal 40 cm to reduce friction during use. The catheter acts as a conduit for providing direct aspiration to the occlusion site generated by the Riptide™ aspiration pump.
The catheter is introduced through a guide catheter or sheath and into the intracranial vasculature and guided over a neurovascular guidewire and/or micro catheter to the site of the primary occlusion. The catheter is connected to the Riptide™ aspiration pump through the aspiration tubing. The intermediate tubing connects the Riptide™ collection canister to the Riptide™ aspiration pump. The Riptide™ aspiration system in this configuration may be used to aspirate thrombus from the occluded vessel.
