Cordis Neurovascular
Product: Trufill — all models and sizes
FDA Clearance Information
The Trufill DCS Detachable Coil System was cleared by the FDA through the 510(k) pathway on December 7, 2006. It is manufactured by Cordis Neurovascular and classified as a Class 2 device.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Embolization of cerebral aneurysms.
- Endovascular occlusion of intracranial aneurysms using detachable embolization coils.
Clinical Applications
- Endovascular treatment of selected ruptured cerebral aneurysms.
- Endovascular treatment of selected unruptured cerebral aneurysms.
- Packing an intracranial aneurysm with detachable coils to promote occlusion.
- Use during catheter-based neurointerventional embolization procedures.
Reported off-label uses
- Embolization of selected non-aneurysmal intracranial vascular lesions may be reported in clinical practice, but this is outside the stated cerebral aneurysm indication and requires physician judgment.
Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Practical Considerations
- The system includes detachable platinum coils in multiple sizes and configurations; coil selection depends on aneurysm width, height, neck, shape and the planned packing strategy.
- The coil is delivered through a compatible microcatheter under fluoroscopic and angiographic guidance, usually through arterial access in the groin or wrist.
- The procedure may require general anesthesia or conscious sedation, depending on aneurysm location, patient condition and institutional practice.
- MRI safety depends on the exact coil system, labeling and scanner conditions; the implant card and current manufacturer instructions should be reviewed before MRI.
- Contraindications and limitations include unsuitable aneurysm anatomy, inability to safely access the target vessel, allergy or intolerance to relevant materials or contrast, and clinical conditions that make endovascular treatment unsafe.
