Expro Elite™ Snare features a helical loop and
Sympro Elite™ Snare features a simple 90-degree loop – both devices
are available in five loop diameters for clinical versatility in
retrieving or repositioning intravascular devices – preassembled,
one-piece design allows rapid deployment through any 0.035”
compatible lumen.
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading global provider of
medical technologies for critical care and surgery, has announced
510(k) clearance by the Food and Drug Administration and U.S.
commercial launch of new versions of its Expro Elite™ and Sympro
Elite™ Snares for manipulating interventional devices in peripheral
procedures.
Both the Expro Elite™ and Sympro Elite™ Snares represent
next-generation versions of the 0.035” interventional snares
originally launched in the U.S. in 2008 by Vascular Solutions, now
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated.
“We are excited to introduce to the market our enhanced versions
of the Expro Elite™ and Sympro Elite™ Interventional Snares, which
build on nearly a decade of reliable performance in the cath lab.
Both devices feature greatly enhanced pull force for superior
handling in challenging procedures,” said Stewart Strong, President
and General Manager of the Interventional business unit of
Teleflex. “Both snare products feature a durable nitinol
construction that retains its shape and adds strength, a radiopaque
gold-plated tungsten coil and tip for enhanced visibility, 1:1
torque response for controlled positioning and better access to
distal targets, and a unique locking handle that facilitates secure
capture.”
The Expro Elite™ Snare uses a helical loop for capture in all
directions. The Sympro Elite™ Snare uses a 90-degree loop that
remains coaxial to the vessel lumen for easy capture. Both snare
products feature a preassembled, one-piece design that allows rapid
deployment through any 0.035” compatible lumen. Both the Expro
Elite™ and Sympro Elite™ Snares are available in 5, 10, 15, 25, and
35 mm loop diameters for clinical versatility. Both snares are 150
cm in length and are packaged one per box.
Both the Expro Elite™ and Sympro Elite™ Snares are intended for
use in the cardiovascular system and hollow viscus to retrieve
and/or manipulate objects using minimally-invasive surgical
procedures. Manipulation procedures include retrieval and/or
repositioning of intravascular foreign objects such as coils,
balloons, catheters, and/or guidewires within the cardiovascular
system. The devices are not intended for use in the coronary
arteries or neurovasculature.
