The Angel® Catheter is an IVC filter permanently attached to a triple lumen central venous catheter. The smart, elegant design of the Angel Catheter provides critical care physicians and their patients with prophylactic PE protection and guarantees IVC filter retrieval, a game changing promise that no other IVC filter can make.
As the first and only IVC filter to receive FDA clearance for a prophylactic use indication, the Angel® Catheter provides immediate and effective PE protection during a critical and frequently untreated window for critically ill patients.
The Angel® Catheter allows for bedside placement with no need to move the patient to an endovascular suite. Following placement of the Angel® Catheter, proper positioning of the filter can be confirmed via an abdominal radiograph (KUB). After the KUB the filter can be repositioned as needed.
The Angel® Catheter is also intended to provide access to the central venous system for recognized standard clinical indications.
The elegant design of the Angel® Catheter provides critical care physicians and their patients with prophylactic PE protection and guarantees IVC filter retrieval, a game changing promise that no other IVC filter can make. Optimal removal is done under fluoroscopy in the endovascular suite using a cavogram to identify potential thrombus. Angel® Catheter can be removed in the ICU if the patient has received a CT or MRI to identify clot burden.
