NexGen Medical Systems announced the successful completion of the first human use of its XCOIL large vessel (18mm) thrombectomy system for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The new device represents an expansion of the company’s 12mm XCOIL system and is designed to rapidly remove blood clots in large vessels, such as the iliac vein.
Both XCOIL systems are comprised of an encapsulator sheath and a retractor catheter. The retractor is used to engage and extract the clot, pull it into the encapsulator and remove the clot from the body while minimizing the need for clot-dissolving lytic drugs.
