Bard | Simon Nitinol Vena Cava Filter | Which Medical Device
From Which Medical Device
This was the first nitinol filter on the market. It has a similar design to the G2 with a lower level of anchoring legs and an upper level for capturing clots. The main difference is that the upper level is composed of loops of wire rather than struts.
'A brief history of inferior vena cava filters and analysis current devices' - read the editorial by Dr Michael Burns and Professor Michael Lee. and compare this device to the range of other caval filters currently available.
