Penumbra’s peripheral thrombectomy platform is designed to remove clot from arteries and veins in the peripheral vasculature, and for the treatment of pulmonary embolism.
-
Penumbra’s CAVT™ (Computer Assisted Vacuum Thrombectomy) platform, introduced in Europe in 2022, harnesses advanced computer technology designed to enable rapid restoration of blood flow in cases such as arterial thrombus, venous thrombus, and pulmonary embolism through a minimally invasive approach. The CAVT platform utilises the Penumbra ENGINE™ Aspiration Source, which delivers nearly pure, continuous vacuum (-29 inHg or -98.2 kPa) to our catheters, enabling effective thrombus removal in a wide range of vessel sizes.

Designed for Speed, Safety, & Simplicity in peripheral thrombus removal
Proprietary thrombus removal algorithms with intraprocedural audio-visual cues designed for:
- Quicker clot detection1
- Quicker patent flow detection to reduce potential blood loss1
MaxID Technology
- Comparable to IDs of large-bore catheters while maintaining a lower profile
- Laser-cut stainless steel hypotube
1. Compared to Indigo™ System Lightning™ 7 and Lightning 12
