Tornado
A non-bioabsorbable, implantable device intended to induce a thrombosis within a non-neurovascular blood vessel to treat an aneurysm and/or non-neurovascular arteriovenous malformation (AVM); it is not intended for neurovascular application. It is in the form of a metal or metal/synthetic polymer wire which coils upon deployment within an aneurysm or the vasculature surrounding a malformation; it is typically pre-attached to a nonimplantable delivery wire. Disposable devices associated with implantation (e.g., delivery wire, catheter) may be included.
