The "SpiderFX" may refer to a specific type of embolic protection device used during carotid artery stenting procedures. Embolic protection devices are designed to capture and remove debris released during the stenting process to prevent it from traveling to the brain, reducing the risk of stroke.
The EV3 SpiderFX is commonly associated with the SpiderFX Embolic Protection Device, which is used in the field of interventional cardiology. The device is designed to capture and remove embolic debris that may be released during certain vascular procedures, particularly during carotid artery stenting. Key features of the EV3 SpiderFX Embolic Protection Device may include: Embolic Protection: The primary function of the device is to provide protection against embolic debris dislodged during the intervention. It helps prevent these debris from reaching and potentially blocking smaller blood vessels. Flexible Design: The SpiderFX typically has a flexible design that allows it to navigate through blood vessels, facilitating the deployment and retrieval process. Distal Protection: The device is designed to be positioned distal to the treatment site, capturing any embolic debris before it can travel downstream. Capture Basket: The device often includes a capture basket that traps and retains embolic debris, preventing it from causing harm in the circulation. Compatibility: The SpiderFX device is designed for compatibility with various catheters and guide wires commonly used in interventional procedures.
