Interventional firm Abbott Vascular has received the European CE Mark for its Emboshield Pro embolic protection device.
Emboshield Pro is designed to be more radiopaque than its predecessor, providing better visibility during angiography, according to the Redwood City, CA-based vendor. It is also shorter in length and provides an enhanced profile, Abbott said.
Emboshield Pro also features Barewire, a technology that allows the filter to remain stable during the normal guidewire movements that occur during device exchanges in carotid procedures, Abbott said.
