INDIGOTM ASPIRATION SYSTEM with LightningTM Computer-Aided Aspiration Tubing
Penumbra’s Indigo Aspiration System is indicated for the removal of fresh, soft emboli and thrombi from vessels of the peripheral arterial and venous systems, and for the treatment of pulmonary embolism.
The INDIGO Aspiration Catheter is used in conjunction with the Penumbra ENGINETM intended to generate maximum vacuum pressure (-29 inHg or 98.2 kPa) for Penumbra aspiration systems enabling thrombus removal in vessels of various sizes.
The Indigo Aspiration System is comprised of several devices
- Indigo CAT™ Mechanical Thrombectomy Catheter
- Indigo Separator™
- LightningTM Intelligent Aspiration Tubing
- Indigo Aspiration Tubing
- Penumbra ENGINE aspiration source
- Penumbra ENGINE Canister
The Indigo System may be used as a first-line approach or rescue therapy for arterial and venous thrombotic or embolic events.
Lightning 12 Designed for Frontline Deep Vein Thrombosis & Pulmonary Embolism Treatment
Lightning Computer-Aided Mechanical Aspiration System
The Indigo System with Lightning Aspiration Tubing is a computer-aided aspiration system powered by Penumbra ENGINE. Lightning Aspiration Tubing has dual pressure sensors for real-time blood flow monitoring. The built-in microprocessor features a proprietary thrombus removal algorithm that automatically controls a valve in the tubing to provide continuous or intermittent aspiration. With automatic valve control, Lightning can help the physician focus on optimizing thrombus removal procedures. Throughout each case, Lightning provides procedural feedback via audio visual cues. Lightning comes packaged with the Indigo aspiration catheters CAT7 or CAT12.
Lightning 7 Designed for Single Session Thrombus Removal
High Power, Low Profile
Catheters & Separators
The CAT family of catheters is the foundation of Penumbra’s Indigo System. The Indigo System CAT3, CAT5, CAT6, CAT8, and CATD are engineered to be robust, trackable, atraumatic, and well suited for the peripheral anatomy. Available in a selection of sizes, the CAT family can provide access to distal peripheral vessels of the upper and lower extremities, including below the knee. CAT7, CAT7D, and CAT12 are the next generation of the Indigo System catheters. Made of laser-cut hypotube technology, CAT7, CAT7D, and CAT12 are designed to increase trackability and torqueability. With a maximised inner diameter of 0.082″ (2.1 mm) and a 7 French (2.3 mm) outer diameter, CAT7 is 93% the size of CAT8, now with essentially the same aspiration power as the 8F but with a lower 7F profile. CAT12 features a large 0.131″ (3.33 mm) lumen and angled tip for additional circumferential sweep. The combination of computer-aided aspiration and large-lumen catheter engineering form Lightning 7 and Lightning 12: the latest generation in clot removal technology.
The Penumbra Indigo System Separator is intended for use with our Indigo System’s CAT family of catheters to enable the removal of a wide range of thrombus. The Indigo Separator is advanced and retracted through the corresponding size Indigo catheter at the proximal margin of the primary occlusion to facilitate clearing of the thrombus from the catheter tip.
