From Which Medical Device
The SpiderFX is an embolic protection device that can be placed with its low profile deployment catheter through a 6F guide catheter or 5F sheath. The lesion can be crossed with an 0.018 or 0.014 inch wire then the guiding catheter can be placed through the lesion. The filter is inserted in the sheath and the sheath is withdrawn to uncover the filter beyond the lesion. The filter with its wire can then be used for placement of a stent. The filter can then be captured and withdrawn along with embolic material. Its main use appears to be with carotid stenting although it is indicated for coronary and peripheral vascular work.
