March 15, 2010—Cook Medical (Bloomington, IN) announced the launch of the latest iteration of the NavAlign delivery system for the placement of inferior vena cava filters to prevent pulmonary emboli. The femoral access device is designed to minimize the risk of vessel trauma and streamline filter placement.
According to the company, NavAlign is available for Cook Celect and Günther Tulip filters. The system incorporates a hemostasis valve to minimize blood loss, as well as a multipurpose dilator, radiopaque sizing marker bands, and flushing sideports designed to decrease fluoroscopy time and contrast medium amounts. NavAlign is the flagship of Cook's new venous program, which is an integrated line of products for the treatment of the full spectrum of venous disease from superficial venous insufficiency to deep system conditions such as deep vein thrombosis. The company announced the NavAlign launch at the Society of Interventional Radiology's 35th annual scientific meeting in Tampa, Florida.
