The all-in-one advantage for arterial thrombectomy
Artix® Thrombectomy System
All Clots1 • One System • Don't Settle
Overview
Purpose-built for arterial
Developed from a true clinical need and shaped by direct physician feedback, Artix is a powerful, dual mechanical + aspiration solution, designed to address a broad spectrum of arterial thrombus cases.
Exceptional treatment flexibility & control
- Dual mechanical thrombectomy and aspiration toolkit designed to remove acute to chronic clots.1
- Low profile, trackable, kink-resistant sheath expands treatment options.
- Over-the-wire mechanical element that enables controlled access and precise device handling.
- Covered funnel catheter provides proximal flow restriction to assist in the ingestion of thrombi during thrombectomy.
System components
Artix MT Mechanical Thrombectomy Device
Broad treatment range
2 sizes increase options for above and below the knee thrombus
- 3-6 mm vessels
- 4-8 mm vessels
A) Offset mouth for optimized clot capture
B) Designed to collect and retrieve acute-to-chronic clot
C) Laser-cut element featuring internal struts
D) Expandable distal segment designed to aid element cleaning
Artix Thin-Walled Sheath
Aspiration-capable, ultralow profile hydrophilic, 8 Fr
A) Enhanced trackability and kink resistance for an up-and-over arterial thrombectomy approach
B) Hydrophilic coating for smooth insertion
C) Two lengths expand treatment flexibility 65cm and 90cm
A) 8Fr sheath with a 7Fr access profile
Covered Funnel Catheter
Ultimate control
A) Covered nitinol mesh funnel is designed to restrict flow to aid in thrombus ingestion and extraction
B) Artix Thin-Walled Sheath
*According to benchtop testing compared to control. Internal data on file.
Note: To attempt to minimize risk of arterial embolization of blood clots, use of a device that entraps clots may potentially be helpful, but this has not yet been demonstrated to be effective in the arterial system.
Artix AX Aspiration Catheter
A) 8Fr beveled tip
B) Artix Thin-Walled Sheath
Aspiration flow rates (cc/s)*
70% faster aspiration flow rates*
Artix flow rates outpace the competition, using the Artix AX Aspiration Catheter or Artix Thin-Walled Sheath.

Indications for Use
The Artix Thin-Walled Sheath is indicated for: (1) The non-surgical removal of emboli and thrombi from blood vessels. (2) Injection, infusion, and/or aspiration of contrast media and other fluids into or from a blood vessel. (3) Use as a conduit for endovascular devices. (4) Use in facilitating the insertion and guidance of an intravascular catheter into a selected blood vessel. The funnel provides temporary vascular occlusion during these and other angiographic procedures. The Artix Thin-Walled Sheath is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature. The Artix MT thrombectomy device is indicated for (1) the non-surgical removal of emboli and thrombi from a blood vessel; and (2) injection, infusion, and/or aspiration of contrast media and other fluids into or from a blood vessel. The Artix MT thrombectomy device is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature.
