December 11, 2023- Terumo Medical Corporation announced the launch of its new AZUR HydroPack Peripheral Coil System in the United States. The AZUR HydroPack Coil System is a soft, universal-shaped platinum and hydrogel coil designed to find and fill empty space within the vessel. It is also the only packing coil to use proprietary designed hydrogel technology to create a gel core for mechanical occlusion, a unique feature of AZUR peripheral coils. Terumo received Food and Drug Administration clearance for the AZUR HydroPack Coil System earlier this year; it is fully available starting today.
The AZUR HydroPack Peripheral Coil System has a true .018” primary wind and is available in long lengths – ranging from 5 to 60 cm – making it the longest gel core coil on the market. It allows for flexible sizing and can be deployed through 2.4Fr or 2.8Fr microcatheters in a single-coil platform. With no requirements for vessel-diameter sizing other than placement of an anchor coil, this may reduce the amount of inventory required to support a wide variety of peripheral embolization procedures. The soft coil design paired with an enhanced pusher allows for ease of delivery, optimized trackability and microcatheter stability.
The AZUR HydroPack Peripheral Coil System – the latest addition to the TIS embolotherapy portfolio – is designed to fill volume behind the Terumo AZUR™ CX Peripheral Coil System for vessel occlusion and to fill volume inside of the AZUR™ Framing Coil System for aneurysm occlusion.
