Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the significant risks associated with intra-aortic emboli, highlighting recent clinical studies that emphasize the frequency and severity of end-organ and neurologic impairments due to emboli release.

Advances in Intra-Aortic Filtration
The EMBOL-X intra-aortic filter is presented as a solution for capturing emboli and reducing adverse neurologic and end-organ events. It is noted for reducing renal complications by 42% in high-risk patients.

Product Features
The EMBOL-X Glide Protection System is designed with a 120-micron polyester mesh, a flexible Nitinol frame, and a Duraflo coating to capture particulates without impeding blood flow. It features an advanced 2-valve design to minimize blood loss.

Operational Insights
Studies indicate that 66% of atheroemboli are released during the manipulation of clamps in cardiac procedures. The EMBOL-X filters, when deployed before cross-clamp placement, capture more emboli than when deployed before removal.

Design and Functionality
The system integrates seamlessly into surgical procedures, requiring minimal changes in technique. It features a keyed cartridge for proper filter direction and a spring-loaded tip for atraumatic deployment.

Product Specifications
The document lists various sizes of cannulas and filters, including single and dual filter kits, to accommodate different patient needs.

Performance Data
A graph illustrates the pressure drop versus flow rate for the EMBOL-X Glide Cannula, indicating its efficiency in maintaining flow while capturing emboli.

Conclusion
The EMBOL-X Glide Protection System is highlighted as a leading intra-aortic filtration device, offering dual levels of protection by capturing particulate matter and reducing risks associated with return flow to the aorta.

References
The document cites multiple studies and trials that support the efficacy of the EMBOL-X system in reducing embolic events during cardiac surgery.

TWO LEVELS OF PROTECTION Featuring ground breaking innovations, our proprietary technology makes the EMBOL-X Glide protection system the safest, most efficient intra-aortic filtration device available. It not only captures particulate matter in the bloodstream, but also helps to reduce the risk of particulate matter released by return flow to the aorta. Gentle web-like dispersion of return flow is designed to minimize turbulence and help reduce the danger of dislodging particulate matter from vessel walls. Central orientation of the cannula tip is designed to reduce direct jetting of flow against...
