Anaconda Biomed
Anaconda Biomed is developing the next generation of catheters to perform safely and efficiently mechanical thrombectomies. Its flagship product is the ANA (Advanced Neurovascular Access) Catheter System, which consists of unique, funnel-shaped delivery and aspiration catheters to be used in combination with a stent retriever. When deployed, the funnel self-expands and directly conforms to the artery diameter up to 5mm. It is designed to locally restrict flow and allow full thrombus extraction without fragmentation.
