RapidPulse, Inc. has revolutionized stroke treatment with its advanced aspiration thrombectomy system, designed to enhance first-pass recanalization rates and improve patient outcomes. Traditional thrombectomy procedures often face challenges such as clot fragmentation, incomplete clot removal, and catheter clogging. RapidPulse’s innovation addresses these issues through a precisely controlled vacuum and venting mechanism, ensuring the efficient extraction of thromboembolic material.

At the core of this groundbreaking system is a controller-driven cycle that alternates vacuum and vent phases at high frequency. By utilizing solenoid valves, the system can dynamically shift a fluid column within the catheter, preventing the uncontrolled distal migration of clot material. Unlike conventional methods that risk breaking clots into smaller, potentially hazardous emboli, RapidPulse’s controlled aspiration technique ensures complete clot retrieval, minimizing the need for multiple passes and reducing procedure times.

The system’s ability to cycle vacuum at a rate of 6 to 16 Hz provides rapid yet stable clot engagement. The venting phase allows for the controlled displacement of the clot without the dangers associated with sudden pressure fluctuations. By precisely timing the vacuum and vent cycles, the system eliminates the risks of clot fragmentation or embolization to deeper vessels, ensuring a safer and more effective thrombectomy procedure.

Additionally, the innovative design enables real-time confirmation of clot removal, allowing surgeons to immediately assess the success of the procedure. This feature significantly reduces the uncertainty that plagues traditional aspiration methods, leading to higher confidence in treatment efficacy. By optimizing clot removal with its cutting-edge aspiration thrombectomy system, RapidPulse, Inc. is paving the way for a new standard in ischemic stroke intervention—one that prioritizes safety, efficiency, and superior patient outcomes.

Are you developing new technology for an existing application? Did you know your development work could be eligible for the R&D Tax Credit and you can receive up to 14% back on your expenses?
