The arterial microfilter, developed by Southwest Research
Institute (SwRI) engineers, allows for
angioplasty in the carotid artery.
 |
 |
|
The filter (16) is collapsed for insertion
and mechanically triggered to expand during the inflation of the
angioplasty. The arterial microfilter collects any debris from
the process and is mechanically collapsed again to contain the
debris while the catheter is removed. |

arterial microfilter capabilities
at SwRI or how you can contract with SwRI, please contact
