Comments about the Cook Medical Celect Vena Cava Filter | Which Medical Device

I'd agree with Stuart Lyon's review, this is a good device (but yes, I'm a Cook Medical Proctor & therefore biased.)
We've seen rather more perforation with this device than the Tulip, but I think the Celect, in general comes out easier, (if you think it's a good idea to take them out).

They do tend to lie their noses against the contralateral wall when deployed from the groin, but its straightforward to straighten them usually.

We too have used the Sos/Terumo/snare/loop/pull off label removal procedure to get them out. We've CT scanned all our filter patients after extraction & never seen any issues, but I do worry about how hard I sometimes have pulled to get them to release. (I do tend to pop in a 6f right femoral vein sheath and have a big stent graft on the shelf, when I start to sweat).
We've followed all of ours up since 2007, so 5 years, they looking pretty good. GRP

Very simple to deploy although new design hasn't solved the problem of the device tilting. It seems similar to the Tulip in terms of technical ease of removal. I've retrieved one at 6/12 without any difficulty.

We have used other retrievable filters at our community hospital. Initially I preferred the optease because femoral retrieval is so appealing but it seems to get incorporated into the wall more firmly. We were able to retrieve 10 in 12 attempts. The previous Tulip seems easier to remove to me than the Celect. I dont have the stats.
