Shanghai MicroPort Endovascular MedTech Co., Ltd (SHA: 688016), a prominent medical device company based in China, has announced that it has received marketing approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for its Vepack filter retriever. The Vepack system, comprising a catcher and a sheath/expander, is designed to percutaneously remove the inferior vena cava filter through the catcher, making it suitable for patients who have been implanted with a retrievable inferior vena cava filter and require filter retrieval.
The product’s innovative double sheath recycling technology allows it to be compatible with various umbrella filters, enhancing its versatility in medical procedures. The pre-bending feature of the capture device catheter facilitates easier trapping of the filter. Additionally, the remote visualization of the sheath and catheter capture system aids in precise positioning, ensuring a more effective and safer retrieval process.- Flcube.com
