Merit Medical’s Siege Vascular Plug Launched in United States
October 30, 2024—Merit Medical Systems, Inc. recently announced the United States launch of its Siege vascular plug, which received FDA 510(k) clearance earlier this year.
According to the company, the nitinol, self-expanding Siege vascular plug for peripheral artery embolization is designed to be highly deliverable and recapturable to enable precise placement while achieving vessel occlusion within 1.3 minutes.
Siege is available in three sizes to treat peripheral arteries from 1.5 to 6 mm in diameter; all sizes are delivered with a microcatheter, stated Merit Medical.
“The Siege vascular plug will be a valuable addition to my clinical practice,” commented Gary Siskin, MD, in the company’s earlier press release. “A plug with rapid occlusion, precise placement, and microcatheter compatibility is important to me.” Dr. Siskin is Professor and Chairman of the Radiology Department at Albany Medical Center in Albany, New York.
