Results for tag: "Flow Diverter"

Flow diverters are a type of cardiovascular device used to treat aneurysms, which are bulges in the wall of a blood vessel. They are designed to divert blood flow away from the aneurysm, allowing it to heal. Flow diverters are typically made of a metal mesh and are inserted into the artery through a catheter. They are designed to be flexible and conform to the shape of the artery, allowing them to be used in a variety of vessels. Flow diverters are a relatively new technology, but they have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their effectiveness and safety. They are often used in combination with other treatments, such as stents, to provide a more comprehensive treatment. Some of the major companies in the flow diverter market include Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, and W.L. Gore & Associates. These companies have developed a range of flow diverters for different types of aneurysms, allowing physicians to tailor treatments to the individual patient. Show Less Read more
