Pounce XL joins the larger suite of Pounce thrombectomy systems. They offer rapid endovascular removal of acute or chronic clot from peripheral arteries.

Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based Surmodics designed Pounce to enable physicians to rapidly restore blood flow regardless of clot morphology. Its fully mechanical thrombectomy devices can promptly remove organized thrombus or embolus. They don’t require thrombolytics, aspiration, or capital equipment.

Surmodics describes Pounce systems as “grab-and-go” solutions, deployable and simple to use. Each system features a delivery catheter, a basket wire and a funnel catheter. The basket wire deploys two nitinol self-expanding baskets, which capture the clot before retracting into the nitinol collection funnel. With the clot entrained, the system withdraws into a guide sheath, which removes the clot from the body.
