Infusion catheters
Ekos
by Boston Scientific Corporation
An electrically-powered device designed to generate high-frequency, low-energy ultrasound for intravascular administration to help disrupt clotted blood (i.e., a thrombus or thromboembolus). It is designed to be used with a dedicated infusion catheter for thrombolytic drug administration. The ultrasound is intended to prepare the clot by unwinding the fibrin strands, therefore enabling increased drug permeation through the clot to the vessel wall. It typically consists of a user interface, piezoelectric transducer, and one or more rechargeable battery for independent/mobile use. This is a reusable device.
