The company built Artix for the distinct needs of the peripheral arterial system, according to a news release. It marks Inari’s inaugural entry into the arterial space.

The combined aspiration plus mechanical thrombectomy solution delivers procedural control and versatility. Inari designed it to set a new standard in arterial thrombectomy.

According to Inari, existing therapies can lead to ineffective clot retrieval, leading to additional procedures like open surgery or amputation. It can also lead to significant blood loss, adverse events like arterial embolization and vessel trauma and high rates of lytic use.
