A little volume can make a big difference
Due to the irregular shape of PVA flakes, Contour PVA Embolization Particles are designed to occlude vessels with less material than uniform microspheres.
In a controlled, Single-center study of 100 patients randomized to either Embosphere Microspheres or Contour PVA Embolization Particles, the authors concluded that no significant differences could be found in: frequency of incompletely infarcted leiomyomas, degree of improvement in symptom score, patient satisfaction, or quality of life.
The Contour PVA Embolization Particles come in a variety of size ranges:
Particle Size (microns) | Minimum Compatible Catheter ID |
45—150 | 0.53 mm (0.021 in) (e.g. Direxion Torqueable Microcatheter, Renegade 18 Microcatheter, Renegade STC Microcatheter) |
150—250 | |
250—355 | |
355—500 | |
500—710 | 0.69 mm (0.027 in) (e.g. Direxion HI-FLO Torqueable Microcatheter, Renegade HI-FLO Microcatheter) |
710—1000 | 1.12 mm (0.044 in) (e.g. Imager II Diagnostic Catheter) |
1000—1180 |
