Embolectomy catheters are sterile medical devices dedicated to the removal of fresh arterial embolisms. The catheter is non-toxic, pyrogen-free, and visible under fluoroscopy. Single-lumen catheters use hand-tied balloons that are glued in three areas and pre-stretched for flexibility. These catheters are strong and able to withstand a substantial force before the balloon disengages from the catheter. Balloons are well-centred and resistant to rupture.
