Penumbra System ™ RED Reperfusion Catheters
Penumbra’s RED Reperfusion Catheters (RED 72, RED 68, and RED 62) are intended for use in the revascularisation of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Every case is different, and the RED family of catheters provides a full range of products designed to optimise lumen size and trackability for the situation. All three products feature new REDglide ™ technology which is designed to improve catheter interaction with vessels and to enhance delivery in tortuosity.
