The BASHIR™ Family of Endovascular Catheters

The BASHIR™ Family of Endovascular Catheters uses a unique combination of mechanical and pharmacological therapy to optimize the resolution of arterial and venous thrombus. Targeted thrombolytics are delivered through the expandable infusion basket enabling the immediate restoration of blood flow. This allows for the synergistic effect of both endogenous and exogenous thrombolytics to accelerate thrombus lysis more efficiently and safely. 

The BASHIR™ Endovascular Catheter Difference

HOW THE BASHIR™ ENDOVASCULAR CATHETER WORKS:

Basket expansion creates cross-sectional fissures, fragmenting the thrombus, to immediately re-establish blood flow.

Targeted delivery of physician-specified fluids, including lytics, through 6 mini-infusion catheters within the expandable basket.

The synergistic effect of endogenous and exogenous lytics results in maximum reperfusion.

The BASHIR™ Endovascular Catheter Basket Expansion

BASHIR™ Endovascular Catheter

Atraumatic nitinol-enhanced infusion basket expands from 2.3mm up to 45mm

For patients with long lesions in peripheral vessels, the BASHIR™ Plus portfolio of endovascular catheters deliver targeted thrombolytics through the expandable infusion basket as well as the distal shaft to achieve optimal clinical results.

The Thrombolex Difference

The BASHIR™ portfolio of endovascular catheters have a unique, expandable nitinol-enhanced infusion basket for fragmenting the thrombus while delivering a thrombolytic agent. Nitinol enhancement provides visibility and core strength to effectively fissure the clot.

Expansion of the basket increases the surface area for treatment and exposes more of the thrombus to the patient’s blood flow. This unique mechanism of action harnesses the benefit of the patient’s endogenous fibrinolytics combined with the exogeneous fibrinolytics to accelerate lysis.

Single Lumen CDT

Many current catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) devices only open a single channel through the thrombus and inject thrombolytics via a single lumen. This limits the surface area of the thrombus exposed to the lytics.

Thrombolex Method: Rapid Flow Restoration

Mechanical expansion of the 6 mini-infusion catheters, each with 8 laser-drilled infusion holes, creates fissures through the thrombus and increases surface area to optimize targeted delivery of thrombolytics. The creation of multiple channels enables the patient’s own blood to flow through the thrombus and promotes endogenous thrombolysis.

Thrombolex Method: Multichannel Infusion

Lytics are delivered via the 8 laser-drilled infusion holes in the 6 expandable mini-catheters over the increased surface area within the thrombus, promoting greater thrombolysis.

Thrombolex Method: Multiple Expansions

Each expansion of the infusion basket creates fissures through the thrombus and separate planes of surface area exposed to either pulse sprays or an infusion with thrombolytics.

Mechanism of Action

The ability of the infusion basket to expand helps to immediately restore blood flow while efficiently delivering thrombolytics.
