Engineered for Safety
We knew that there must be a safer way to retrieve a clot from the brain. The answer was already there. We leveraged the Comaneci technology and created the adjustable clot retriever.

Example case 2#
​
A 62 year-old male with an MCA trifurcation M2 occlusion and a tortuous anatomy, pre NIHSS 6, was treated with a Tigertriever 13 that was delivered by Headway Dou 167 (with a distal 0.013" ID) and an intermediate catheter for distal aspiration. The clot was successfully removed by each branch, 1 pass for each branch, within a total of 39 minutes from groin puncture to recanalization. The patient was released with post NIHSS 0.
