RED Reperfusion Catheters

Penumbra’s RED^® Reperfusion Catheters (RED 72 SILVER LABEL, RED 72 SILVER LABEL with SENDit^® Technology, RED 68, RED 62, and RED 43) are intended for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke.

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

RED 72 SILVER LABEL is our latest large-bore Reperfusion Catheter, which provides the highest TRF on the market^a and is optimized for navigating challenging anatomy in LVO.

• SILVER LABEL Technology: Blended transition zones designed for enhanced performance in challenging anatomy
• .072″ (1.83 mm) Lumen: Delivers highest TRF^a
• .085″ (2.16 mm) Outer Diameter: Articulating marker band design to improve tip softness
• REDglide Technology: Enhanced distal hydrophilic coating for smooth trackability
• 132 cm Length: To reach target vessels

RED 72 SILVER LABEL is our latest large-bore Reperfusion Catheter, which provides the highest TRF on the market^a and is now available with SENDit Technology. SENDit Technology is designed to simplify preparation and ease delivery of RED 72 SILVER LABEL.

• Original RED 72 showed 50% less trackability compared to RED 72 SILVER LABEL^b
• Blended transition zones designed for optimized compatibility with SENDit Technology
• Preloaded in RED 72 SILVER LABEL for simplified setup
• 1 Flush Point for quick preparation
• Occupies 99% of RED 72 SILVER LABEL lumen^c
• Tapered 1.5 cm distal tip designed for close clot proximity
• .014″ wire compatible
• Intended for use with BENCHMARK^™ BMX^®96 Access System

b. Tests performed and data on file at Penumbra, Inc. Testing performed evaluated the gram-force (gf) required to push aspiration system to 30 cm displacement in a tortuous glass model using an Instron^® machine. Bench results may not be indicative of clinical performance. Physicians’ treatment and technique decisions will vary based on their medical judgment. Individual results may vary depending on patient-specific attributes and other factors. Test systems included the Penumbra RED 72 with SENDit Technology and the RED 72 SILVER LABEL with SENDit Technology.
