The FDA clearance allows Control Medical to market the ASPIRE MAX aspiration catheter system, including an ASPIRE aspirator and a MAX catheter, as a package and/or MAX aspiration catheters alone in multiple sizes with an indication to remove soft fresh thrombi (blood clots), and emboli, from vessels in the peripheral vasculature.

“Blood clots vary from acute, fresh and soft thrombus to chronic, old and organized clots,” says Fojtik. “There is no ‘one size fits all’ technology to remove thrombus. Too often, medical device innovation results in complicated and expensive devices. We want to innovate simple, safe and high-performance technologies that work better than basic technologies but are easier to use and cost less than complicated alternatives.”
