RED Reperfusion Catheters

Penumbra’s RED^™ Reperfusion Catheters (RED 43, RED 62 , RED 68, RED 72, RED 72 with SENDit^™ Technology, and RED 78) are designed to remove thrombus and restore blood flow in the neurovasculature using aspiration.

Every case is different, and the RED family of catheters provides a full range of products designed to optimise lumen size and trackability for the situation. All six products feature REDglide^™ technology which is designed to improve catheter interaction with vessels and to enhance delivery in tortuosity.

RED 43 advanced trackability provides smooth delivery of our large-bore catheters as well as providing strong distal aspiration.

• .043″ (1.09 mm) Lumen: Delivers powerful distal aspiration
• .060″ (1.52 mm) Outer Diameter: Low profile and atraumatic design for distal deliverability
• REDglide Technology: Designed to enhance delivery in tortuosity
• 138cm, 153cm, and 160cm Lengths: To reach target vessels
• Precision Tip: Articulating marker band with short polymer tip for optimal visualisation and placement

RED 62 is Penumbra’s most versatile reperfusion catheter providing advanced trackability even in the most challenging anatomy.

• .062″ (1.57 mm) Lumen: Delivers powerful distal aspiration
• .076″ (1.93 mm) Outer Diameter: Low profile for easy access

• 11 Material Transitions: Optimised for performance in complex distal anatomy

RED 68 is our medium-bore reperfusion catheter which is designed to combine the best of both worlds, trackability and efficient clot engagement.

• .068″ (1.73 mm) Lumen: Delivers powerful aspiration
• .084″ (2.13 mm) Outer Diameter: Atraumatic tip designed for improved navigation
• REDglide Technology: Enhanced distal hydrophilic coating for smooth trackability
• 132 cm Length: To reach target vessels
• 16 Material Transitions: Optimised for performance in challenging anatomy

RED 72 is our large-bore reperfusion catheter which is optimised for navigating challenging anatomy.
