Retriever Medical Advances Innovation with Filing of U.S. Patent Application for Vascular Occlusion Removal System

Retriever Medical pioneers groundbreaking solutions for vascular occlusion with an innovative patent application.

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, March 27, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Retriever Medical, (www.rtvmed.com) a pioneer in interventional medicine, proudly announces a significant milestone in medical innovation with the submission of a U.S. patent application for its groundbreaking Vascular Occlusion Removal System (VORS). Developed by Retriever Medical’s team of experts, the U.S. patent application discloses and claims a revolutionary system and method for removing occlusions and unwanted matter from vascular vessels, promising enhanced outcomes in patient care.

Background of the Invention: The medical field often grapples with challenges in efficiently removing occlusions, such as thrombi, from vessels, particularly in vascular structures like the aorta, pulmonary artery, iliofemoral, and vena cava. Existing devices often struggle with organized embolic material, leading to suboptimal outcomes and potential complications.

Introducing the Vascular Occlusion Removal System (VORS): Retriever Medical’s VORS represents a significant leap forward in addressing these challenges. The patent application describes a catheter-based system comprising a retriever sub-system with a guide catheter, a delivery catheter, an elongated delivery member, and occlusion-capturing elements. The system provides precise positioning and dynamic adjustment to match the size of the target occlusion, even within the vessel or cavity.

Key features of the VORS system include:

1. Dynamic Surrounding: The retriever sub-system enables dynamic surrounding of the target occlusion, offering superior control and isolation at the

occlusion site.

2. Thrombolytic Agent Delivery: The elongated delivery member of the retriever sub-system includes means for delivering thrombolytic agents, which

enhances the effectiveness of thrombus removal.

3. Pharmacological Agent Delivery: The occlusion-capturing elements of the retriever sub-system are coated with a unique drug-dispersing polymer,

whereby, pharmacological agents, such as anti-inflammatories, can be delivered directly to vessels during an occlusion removal procedure.

According to Brandon Repko, MD, “The submission of this U.S. patent application represents a significant advancement in interventional medicine. The Vascular Occlusion Removal System offers a novel approach to addressing occlusions, providing clinicians with enhanced precision and effectiveness in treatment.”

The Retriever Medical ClotHound ACE thrombectomy systems offer a multitude of advantages over conventional alternatives. With features such as a dual sphere design with distal embolic protection, physician-controlled Clear ACE functionality, single device placement for continuous thrombus removal without the need to remove the device, and integrated mechanical spheres alongside a large bore aspiration catheter, the ClotHound ACE system sets a new standard in thrombectomy technology. Now, with the pending addition of the Vascular Occlusion Removal System (VORS), the ClotHound System is poised to represent the next generation of thrombectomy devices, promising even greater precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes.

Ben Bobo, CEO of Retriever Medical, added, “The submission of our U.S. patent application for the Vascular Occlusion Removal System underscores Retriever Medical’s commitment to driving innovation in interventional medicine. This milestone reinforces our dedication to advancing patient care and improving procedural outcomes.”
