Abbott RX Accunet Embolic Protection System

Abbott Vascular RX ACCUNET Embolic Protection System is a .014” guide wire based filter system that utilizes rapid exchange technology so that the physician can easily control the filter during catheter manipulations. It is used mainly with the RX Acculink Carotid Stent System.

The RX ACCUNET is available in both 190 cm and 300 cm lengths with the proximal end of the 190 cm device coined to allow for attachment to a “DOC” wire extension.

The system is 6F sheath/8F guide catheter compatible and has filters available in 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5 mm basket diameters that are recommended for use in arteries ranging from 3.25 mm to 7.0 mm.

The RX ACCUNET’s flexible cage design assists in maintaining excellent wall apposition in pulsed flow environments and challenging anatomies.

The RX ACCUNET’s peel away delivery sheath allows for simple deployment with rapid exchange unsheathing for stability and ease of use.

The .014” wire can be torqued independently from the filter basket in order to help manage the navigation of tortuous anatomy. Recovery is performed with a choice of two dedicated RX recovery catheters.

The original RX ACCUNET Recovery Catheter has a shapeable distal tip designed to offer steering control during advancement. The RX ACCUNET 2 Recovery Catheter is lower profile and more flexible and was designed to access more tortuous anatomies without catching on stent struts.
