More on the News
Premier is a leading healthcare improvement company, uniting more than 4,350 U.S. hospitals and 300,000 other providers to transform healthcare.
The Pounce Thrombectomy and Pounce Low-Profile (LP) Thrombectomy Systems, as well as the Pounce Venous Thrombectomy System, are fully mechanical, non-aspiration endovascular systems that are intended to promptly remove soft or hardened blood clots from peripheral veins or peripheral arteries.
Surmodics thrombectomy systems are designed to minimize physicians’ need to remove clots using thrombolytic medications, a treatment that requires an overnight stay in an intensive care unit. These systems do not require capital equipment.
Surmodics’ portfolio of thrombectomy systems is likely to contribute meaningfully to high-quality, cost-effective care throughout the Premier hospital alliance. Pounce thrombectomy device platform is one of the key growth factors for SRDX’s topline, which is likely to continue with this new agreement.
Surmodics’ Thrombectomy Portfolio
At the time of the release of its second-quarter fiscal 2024 results in May, Surmodics announced the completion of limited market evaluation and commercial launch of two new mechanical thrombectomy systems for the peripheral venous and arterial vasculatures — the Pounce Venous Thrombectomy System and the Pounce LP Thrombectomy System in March and April, respectively.
The Pounce Thrombectomy platform devices from Surmodics are designed to remove emboli and thrombi from the peripheral artery vasculature without the need for surgery. The Pounce LP Thrombectomy System is recommended for vessels with diameters between 2 mm and 4 mm, which are common sizes for vessels located below the knee.
The Pounce Venous Thrombectomy System is indicated for mechanical de-clotting and controlled and selective infusion of physician-specified fluids, including thrombolytics, in the peripheral vasculature. The system is indicated for use in vessels of diameters between 6 mm and 16 mm.
