Target Tetra® Detachable Coil
New shape.
New softness.
New possibilities.
For over 10 years, we have been continuously making Target Coils better. Now we’re introducing Target Tetra, which brings a new shape and softness into one coil, making it an excellent option for treating small aneurysms from frame to finish.Target Tetra is our softest coil, yet has enhanced shape stability, so you’re never compromising one advantage for the other.
Now available in sizes up to 4.5mm!
The Target family has a proven legacy. And now, Target Tetra is reshaping what’s possible.
The unique tetrahedral shape is designed to:
1 Treat small aneurysms from frame to finish
2 Increase stability
3 Reduce coil herniation
Our softest coil was designed for small spaces. Whether you’re treating a small aneurysm or using alongside other Target Detachable Coils for filling and finishing, Target Tetra has you covered.

Target Tetra is 28% softer than Target Nano and 67% softer than Target Ultra.
Coil softness is especially important when working in small spaces because it helps reduce aneurysm rupture risk.

Ultra registry
The ULTRA Registry is an investigator-initiated prospective, multicenter U.S. registry of patients with small (≤5mm) intracranial aneurysms treated exclusively with Target Ultra and Target Nano coils.
Primary endpoints: Target aneurysm occlusion and recurrence rates.
Secondary endpoints: Device and/or procedure related adverse events, aneurysm hemorrhage intraoperatively or during follow-up.
Key findings
Core lab adjudicated results confirm the excellent safety and efficacy profiles of Target Ultra and Nano coils in the treatment of ruptured and unruptured small intracranial aneurysms.
