Description
The ERIC™ (Embolus Retriever with Interlinked Cage) Retrieval Device is a mechanical thrombectomy device designed to restore blood flow by removing clots from vasculature in patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke. The device consists of retrieval spheres secured on a pusher wire that are designed to capture and remove blood clots from the neurovasculature. The device is inserted into a microcatheter to navigate to the target location and retrieve the thrombus while the device is withdrawn from the vessel.
