Mermaid Medical Group Introduces Latest Rotational Thrombectomy Technology
Mermaid Medical Group announces commercial availability of D*Clot® HD Rotational Thrombectomy System to safely and effectively macerate and aspirate thrombus in AV fistulae and graft
Mermaid Medical Group, a privately-owned international provider of minimally invasive medical devices, today announced U.S. commercial availability of the D*Clot® HD Rotational Thrombectomy System.
Over 400,000 patients in the United States are dependent on hemodialysis. AV access thrombosis is the leading cause of permanent access loss and may lead to missed dialysis sessions and costly inpatient admissions.1 Thrombus removal in a safe and effective manner will allow patients to immediately return to their dialysis treatment.
The D*Clot® HD system is raising the standard of safe and effective thrombectomy by integrating several purpose-build features to include manual aspiration, solid single-piece tip design and increased tactile response. D*Clot® HD’s engineered advancements provide effective thrombectomy without compromising safety.
‘I am excited to announce the commercial availability of D*Clot® HD in U.S.’’ said Lars Vinther, CEO of Mermaid Medical Group headquartered in Denmark. ‘’In our early clinical experience, D*Clot® is showing the benefit of safe and effective thrombectomy. D*Clot® HD is an extremely interesting technology, and we will keep assigning resources to further benefit from its potential.’’
In 2018, the company announced the acquisition of the Angel® Catheter which established the company’s presence in the vascular space. The commercial availability of D*Clot® HD affirms Mermaid Medical Group’s commitment to being an expert in clot management.
