Embolic Protection Device for Both Lower Extremity and Carotid Arteries

Captures Effectively to Minimize Downstream Complications^1-3

• Centered wire design prevents bias against the vessel wall for effective debris capture.*
• Circumferential nitinol frame maintains optimal wall apposition, even on a bend.*
• Platinum-tungsten frame coils provide excellent visibility.*
• Two sizes allow for easy selection and minimal lab inventory.
   

Limits Filter Movement and Maintains Wire Access Through Innovative BareWire™ Design*

• The unique BareWire™ technology allows the wire to rotate and advance freely, independently of the filter.
• The filter is designed to stay in place during device delivery.*
• Continued wire access, after filter is fully retracted, allows for easy delivery of additional therapy.*
   

Navigates Skillfully Through Carotid and Lower Extremity Vasculature*

• Various types of BareWires™—distal access, workhorse, and support—are designed for various carotid anatomies.
• They promote navigational success through torturous anatomy and challenging arches.
   

Is Compatible with Various Atherectomy Options⁴

• Emboshield NAV6™ EPS and BareWire™ are compatible with a variety of atherectomy types.
• BareWire™ is available in 190 cm and 315 cm lengths.
   

In carotid procedures, the Emboshield NAV6™ EPS is used during stenting with the RX Acculink™ Carotid Stent System and the Xact™ Carotid Stent System.
