Genesis Medical Interventional (Booth 1405) and its licensing partner, Micrus Endovascular, are highlighting Genesis’ F.A.S.T. Funnel Catheter and clot retrieval system for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

The F.A.S.T. Funnel Catheter System is a line of medical devices comprised of a funnel deployed at the distal end of the catheter through which a physician can deploy a proprietary clot retrieval system with an umbrella or parachute-like device. The design harnesses a patient’s blood pressure to provide the sealing force for occlusion. Clots and other debris are removed and the device is then collapsed and removed from the patient.
