Mermaid Medical
The Angel® Catheter is an IVC filter permanently attached to a triple lumen central venous catheter. The smart, elegant design of the Angel Catheter provides critical care physicians and their patients with prophylactic PE protection and guarantees IVC filter retrieval, a game changing promise that no other IVC filter can make.
As the first and only IVC filter to receive FDA clearance for a prophylactic use indication, the Angel® Catheter provides immediate and effective PE protection during a critical and frequently untreated window for critically ill patients.
The Angel® Catheter
The Angel® Catheter allows for bedside placement with no need to move the patient to an endovascular suite. Following placement of the Angel® Catheter, proper positioning of the filter can be confirmed via an abdominal radiograph (KUB). After the KUB the filter can be repositioned as needed.
