Atrium Medical Corporation and Kaneka Corporation have announced the introduction of the Xpress-Way RX Extraction Catheter in the United States.

"Xpress-Way RX incorporates an innovative removable stylet and has been designed with enhanced pushability, anti-kinking, trackability, and crossability which allows for unmatched deliverability and market leading performance," the release added.
Usually a soft fresh thrombus is removed from a vessel by using suction force. Such manual extraction techniques are common in patients that have heart attacks. But the new device promises to revolutionize this process. The system is marketed as Thrombuster II in Japan.
