Additional Information for Aneurysm Shunt Catheter
Aneurysm shunt catheters are medical devices used in the treatment of aneurysms, which are abnormal bulges or weak spots in blood vessels. These catheters are specifically designed to divert blood flow away from the aneurysm, reducing the risk of rupture or further complications.
Aneurysm shunt catheters are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies." This classification encompasses a wide range of medical devices and instruments used in various medical procedures and treatments.
These catheters are typically made of biocompatible materials such as silicone or polyurethane, which are safe for use within the human body. They are available in different sizes and configurations to accommodate various patient needs and anatomical considerations.
Aneurysm shunt catheters are inserted into the blood vessels through a minimally invasive procedure, guided by imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy or angiography. Once in place, the catheter is used to redirect blood flow away from the aneurysm, either by creating a bypass or by occluding the blood vessel leading to the aneurysm.
These catheters are often used in conjunction with other devices, such as coils or stents, to provide comprehensive treatment for aneurysms. The choice of specific catheter and treatment approach depends on factors such as the location and size of the aneurysm, as well as the patient's overall health and medical history.
It is important to note that the use of aneurysm shunt catheters requires specialized medical training and should only be performed by qualified healthcare professionals.
