-
A minimally invasive device, Indigo System enables the restoration of blood flow in such cases as acute limb ischaemia and venous thrombus. The Indigo System utilises the Penumbra ENGINE™ Aspiration Source capable of delivering nearly pure, continuous vacuum (-29 inHg or -98.2 kPa)a to our catheters, enabling thrombus removal in vessels of various sizes. The Indigo System with Lightning™ Technology is a computer assisted vacuum thrombectomy system powered by Penumbra ENGINE.
