Exeter Snare (micro)

The Exeter Snare Micro was uniquely designed to retrieve foreign bodies from small vessel structures.

Special features: The Exeter Snare Micro retrieval allows simplified retrieval of foreign bodies like lost catheters, wire guides, stent and guide wire as well as coil manipulation in small vessels. This special device is a real emergency tool for every interventionalist.
Technical features: By combining such unique features like open loop nitinol wire snare with high pulling forces, 1:1 torque capabilities small size introducer sheath 3F, the Exeter Snare Micro is the solution to retrieving with ease and confidence. The high visibility is guaranteed through a special gold plated tungsten.

THE EXETER SNARE MICRO CARDIOVASCULAR RETRIEVER

1. Over the wire
The over-the-wire capability of the Exeter Snare Micro sheath is compatible with a 0.018” Guide Wire, making delivery of the retrieval snare easier as well as enhancing stability and trackability.
2. Open-loop snare
The Exeter Snare Micro is the only full open loop retriever on the market with real 3-dimensional retrieval functions. The high upstanding force plus a 1:1 torque and loop diameters ranging from 2,4 and 7 mm together with a tapered micro delivery sheath of 3-2.3F makes it the emergency device of choice.
3. Introducer sheath
The kink-resistant micro sheath catheter provides unparalleled flexibility while enhancing delivery and track ability. A inner lying radiopaque band indicates the precise location of the sheath’s distal tip.
4. Versatility
The Exeter Snare Micro achieves a high degree of vessel coverage within a wide range of vessel sizes, and is available in lengths of 175cm. With extra high pulling forces of up to 3.5kg.

Pillar Bifurcation Reconstruction Device

The Pillar is a uniquely designed peripheral bifurcation reconstruction stent for the treatment of difficult peripheral bifurcated lesions. It is an alternative to standard kissing stent techniques and alternative to the CERAB procedure.
The immense benefit for the patient and the physician is the ability for cross over maneuvers at a later stage in case it is needed.
It can also be used in other bifurcated cases. Therefore please contact AndraTec directly to get further information

Where can the Pillar device be used for…

CERAB-procedures – (Covered Endovascular Reconstruction Aortic Bifurcation)
Aortic and/or aorto iliacal reconstruction with a non-covered stent
Leriche Syndrome
mono iliac or bi-‐iliac occlusion
Internal Iliac Reconstruction to increase the blood flow to the internal iliac
and support the surrounding vessels with sufficient flow

Design and surgical strategy implemented by Prof. J.Pillai / engineered by AndraTec

Pillow AAA Occlusion Device

The Pillow is a uniquely designed Occluder for the treatment of extra large lumina. The Pillow occluder is used especially in the peripherals to occlude the iliac during mono iliac AAA stent graft treatment.

AltoSa XL PTA Balloon

Special features:

The AltoSa-XL medium to high pressure PTA catheter is based on a over the wire coaxial shaft and is 110cm in total length. The high puncture resistant non to semi compliant balloon material is mounted on the distal end of the shaft and is designed to reopen strong calcifications in large peripheral vessels.
The proximal end hosts the hub for inflation and deflation of the distal balloon and the guide wire lumen is 0.035“. The balloon is diameter specific and varies in length from 2cm, 3cm, 4 cm, and 6cm with diameters starting from 14mm and incrementally moving in 2mm up to 30mm in diameter. The right balloon size and diameter should be choosen by the physician according to the patients needs. (Note: special sizes might be available on request).

Specific features:

This unique medium to high pressure PTA is available in the lengths of 110 cm. The highly puncture resistant balloon is mounted on the distal end of the shaft. The balloon can expand up to its desired diameter. The highly flexible shaft will provide excellent push even in very tortuous vasculature. Medium to high pressures are uniquely used in calcified lesions I large vessels and non-vascular applications.
