Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System

GuardWire Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System

The GuardWire^® Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System is a simple and elegant solution to distal protection.

How the GuardWire System Works

The GuardWire Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System has demonstrated a reduction in cumulative MACE events following saphenous vein graft interventions. Easy to use, GuardWire Temporary Occlusion and Aspiration System features the EZ Adaptor device, which works seamlessly with the EZ Flator^® inflation device.

When compared to unprotected procedures, the SAFER¹ Trial showed:

42% reduction in MACE
41.5% relative reduction in myocardial infarction
56.6% relative reduction in mortality

Features

Occlusion and Aspiration System
