Mollring Cutter Transection Device, 6 mm dia. x 44 cm Length, Single-Use, For Remote Endarterectomy Hybrid Procedure, Tool Designed to Transect and Remove the Plaque Core at the Designated Endpoint
Remote endarterectomy is a hybrid procedure, combining both surgical and endovascular techniques. LeMaitre Vascular suite of devices assists in the revascularization of long segment occlusions in the iliac artery, superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery. The goal of RE is to use and maintain the native artery for as long as possible, postponing the need for bypass and restoring the option for future endovascular treatments. RE also helps to open and maintain large arterial side branches and collaterals upon removal of the atheromatous core. Patient benefits include preservation of the saphenous vein for future use. Decreased incisions allow for faster healing and fewer days spent in the hospital. Long segment occlusions - the EndoRE procedure is performed to remove long segment flush occlusions of the SFA and iliac arteries. Failed fem-pop bypass - the native SFA is recannalized after the fem-pop bypass graft becomes non-functioning. The MollRing Cutter transection device is a tool designed to transect and remove the plaque core at the designated endpoint or site of the reconstitution of the artery. MollRing Cutters provide the ability to cut the core of the wall of the artery without tearing. The rounded bottom edge of the cutter ring allows for a smooth advancement from the proximal arteriotomy to the designated endpoint.
