†Treatable vessel diameter range based on the devices Instructions for Use to select a plug that is oversized by approximately 30-50% at the occlusion site.
*The Amplatzer™ Vascular Plug is delivered utilizing either a sheath or guide catheter meeting the minimum internal diameter requirements above.
**Each Amplatzer™ Vascular Plug comes pre-loaded on a 135cm nitinol delivery wire.
