Concentric Medical Launches DAC® 070, A New Distal Access Catheter

July 25, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Concentric
Medical, Inc., the global leader in devices for clot removal in
ischemic stroke patients and distal access solutions, today
announced the launch of the DAC® 070 Catheter. The DAC 070
Catheter is the fourth and largest diameter addition to the DAC
family, making it the most complete family of distal access
catheters commercially available.

The DAC Catheter was the first in a new class of catheters known
as distal access catheters. The DAC Catheter was designed to help
physicians navigate challenging anatomy in the brain and provide
stability during neurovascular procedures.  Stability and ease
of navigation are important to keeping interventional procedures
both safe and short.

Concentric Medical pioneered this new class of catheters with
the introduction of the first DAC, the DAC 044, in August 2008. The
DAC 044 was originally designed to provide distal navigation and
neurovascular stability during clot retrieval procedures in
patients experiencing ischemic stroke. With the launch of two
additional sizes in 2009, the DAC 038 and the DAC 057, the DAC
Catheters quickly proved themselves as an invaluable tool in making
many interventional neurovascular procedures easier. With the
launch of the DAC 070, Concentric Medical now offers the broadest
selection of sizes to support a wide variety of neurovascular
procedures. The DAC 070 offers the stability of the original DAC
Catheters with the added benefit of a larger lumen through which
physicians can deliver multiple therapeutic devices.  
 

After his initial experience with the new DAC 070, Dr. Adnan
Siddiqui, Director of Neurosurgical Research and Stroke Services at
the University of Buffalo in Buffalo, New York said, “The DAC 070
is a nice addition to the family.  Not only does it provide
the key design benefits of a smaller DAC, but the larger lumen
allows for the introduction of multiple devices while ma
