Cook Medical G26991 - COIL, EMBOLILZATION, NESTER, 14CML, 10MMD, EACH

Nester Embolization Coil, 0.035 inch

Nester Embolization Coils are made of platinum with spaced synthetic fibers, and are supplied preloaded in a loading cartridge. They are designed to be delivered to the target vessel using a soft, straight wire guide through a standard angiographic catheter.

Features and Benefit

Nester coils are intended for arterial and venous embolization.

• Soft platinum Nester coils are available in .018 and .035 inch sizes.
• The coils are available in lengths from 3 to 20 cm, and in diameters from 2 to 20 mm when coiled.
• Nester conforms inside the vessel to create a tight occluding mass.
• The synthetic fibers help promote clot formation.
• Nester coils are suitable for use as a starting, packing, and finishing coil.
• They are easily visible under fluoroscopy.

Expand your options with a large number of coil profiles

Use with a complementary line of embolization products to support your procedure from start to finish.

Excellent packing coil

Soft platinum coils pack densely with soft fiber for excellent occlusion.

Use alone or in combination

Use in conjunction with other pushable coils, vascular plugs and detachable coil systems.

Intended Use

Nester Embolization Coils are intended for arterial and venous vessel embolization procedures. The product is intended for use by physicians trained and experienced in embolization techniques. Standard techniques for placement of vascular access sheaths, angiographic catheters and wire guides should be employed.

Precautions

• Perform an angiogram prior to embolization to determine correct catheter position.
• Prior to introduction of the embolization coil, flush the angiographic catheter with saline.
• If using a .018 inch MicroNester embolization coil, ensure that the delivery catheter has an internal diameter (ID) between .018 and .025 inch.

Product Recommendations

Appropriately sized diameter TFE-coated wire guides with flexible tapered tips are recommended for positioning Nester Embolization Coils. The following table offers specific recommendations.

Instructions for Use

• Perform an angiogram prior to embolization to determine optimal catheter position.
• Firmly grasp the loading cartridge between thumb and forefinger. Introduce the metal end of the loading cartridge into the base of the catheter hub. Lock loading cartridge onto catheter hub by turning Luer lock adapter clockwise. (Fig. 1)
  
  
• Maintaining position of the cartridge, advance the stiff portion of the wire guide into the loading cannula. Push the coil into the first 20 to 30 cm of the angiographic catheter. (Fig. 2) Remove the wire guide and loading cartridge.
  NOTE: If you are placing a .018 inch embolization coil, you will advance the coil into the first few centimeters of the angiographic catheter with the loading stylet that is provided with the coils.
• With the flexible tip of the wire guide, advance the embolization coil to the tip of the catheter. Verify position of the angiographic catheter prior to deployment.
• Deploy the coil by advancing the wire guide past the tip of the catheter.
• Perform final angiogram to confirm coil position within target vessel.
