Neurovascular

The field of interventional neuroradiology (INR) also referred to as endovascular surgical neuroradiology employs the use of micro catheters for a wide variety of treatments including: stroke (drug delivery), aneurysm (coil delivery) and spinal (cement delivery) reinforcement. These minimally invasive techniques are typically less costly and less traumatic to the patient than more invasive procedures.

Engineered polymers from Lubrizol provide designers with a range of properties to meet pushability, trackability and over-the-wire requirements. These performance attributes include flexural strength, indwelling softening and the ability to impart hydrophilic properties (enhanced navigation).

Potential applications include:

• Occlusive therapies
• Infusion therapies
• Intracranial Catheters
• Neurointerventional Diagnostics
